"Even before his testing was over, Job expressed confidence
in the end result: He knows the way that I take; When He has tested me I shall
come forth as gold." Job 23:10
"Life is like a movie." Have you ever heard that quote?
Well, I recently have heard it differently and it really hit home. We all have
a favorite movie we can watch over and over again. The first time we watch it
we stay at the edge of our seats because we are uncertain of what will happen.
My favorite movie is Rocky IV with the famous Ivan Drago. I have seen this
movie so many times I know what is going to happen, but every time the intense
emotion raises the question is Rocky going to make it? At first we worry but
then our confident smiles slip through because WE KNOW. Rocky holding his
ground despite Drago's powerful punches he finally takes out Drago in the 15th
and last round!!
Life is like that for those who know God. We know what is going to
happen. Recently, I've had those plot engagements and complications in my life.
Relationship events, emotional events, family events, financial events-they all
happen at the same time; and before I know it, I was overwhelmed by one of
life's perfect storms. However, I know how it all works out. We can't lose.
God's love has the victory. Those who trust Him live happily ever
after. The End of Story. Let us remember, even in those difficult moments:
We know this plot. God has the last word.
