Psalm 91:14-15"Because he loves me," says the LORD, "I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name. He will call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him.
If you are an avid soap opera viewer, or if you have ever watched a soap opera; you've seen more than a few cliff hangers. A person, usually a woman is left, due to some odd circumstance, hanging by a finger from a cliff, the side of a building, or even sometimes a moving car or semi truck. It looks impossible for the victim to survive. They seem destined to die an ugly, tragic death. But stay tuned....For the purpose of a soap opera, the cliff hangers always happen on Fridays, when you're on the edge of your seat, (refusing to miss the moment of the character's demise). Rest assured the music will play, and the credits will roll...out of time...sorry but you have to wait.
Monday, here comes the hero, who risks his own life, just in time to throw a life line to the desperate victim. And right when they've slipped from hanging from their finger to hanging from their finger nail; the hero grabs them by their finger nail (or a piece of their very high quality weave) and pulls them to safety, saving the day!In the case of soap operas, cliff hangers keep soap fanatics watching and excited.
In life, cliff hangers keep us praying and depending....depending on God. Cliff hangers often come when God allows our perfectly manufactured agendas to be shaken up to the point that we are in situations that were just not part of our plans. We are left hanging. Sometimes we may even feel that God has left us hanging and we are destined to fall.Life’s cliff hangers come when we have written the script to our perfectly planned out episodes, and realize our planned and memorized script has been replaced with unfamiliar lines. We are suddenly caught off guard, and unsure what to do. Stay tuned… and look to God. He is the director and producer of your life. He knows the next scene, and just the time to catch you before you fall.
