The Twilight Zone

Years ago, there was a popular sci-fi television show called "The Twilight Zone".

In this series, characters were put into very strange situations over which they had no control. Most usually the main character would have to deal with things that seemed to happen between the lines of reality.

Sometimes people would find they had been granted their wishes only to find out that what they had wished for brought tragedy for others, or isolation for themselves.

It really was a strange show, but there were also some cool episodes that made you think!

There have been times in my life where I have found myself in strange situations and I actually hummed "the Twilight Zone" theme song. I felt like I was smack in the middle of one of those crazy episodes!

Have you ever felt that way? Here you are, just cruising along in life, then all the sudden, strange things start happening. Before you know it, everything is upside down and nothing seems to make much sense.

You expect Rod Serling to step out and say, "You've just entered in the Twilight Zone".

These are the times where our faith becomes more important than ever. This is when we run TO God and NOT away!

You see, there are two ways to see our Twilight Zone experience.

1. We can focus on the strange, unexplained, painful, inconvenient, unusual, ridiculous, unfair things that are happening to us....or....

2. We can recognize that twilight happens just before DAYBREAK!

For the Believer, the Twilight Zone is a time of celebration! It means that LIGHT is TWI (or really close!) That the darknes, the weirdness, the craziness, the out-of-controlness is almost over! Victory is close!

It may seem like all hell is breaking loose around us - but the Power of God is about to BREAK loose and all hell will run scared!

Maybe you are experiencing a sort of Twilight Zone right now. Let me encourage you to not give up. Don't let the unexplained steal your faith, your confidence in God. Keep the FAITH and keep BELIEVING!

The LIGHT is about to break, and with it is Victory!

Psalms 30:5 encourages us, "...Weeping may endure for a night, but Joy comes in the morning."

I like the Message Bible version, "The nights of crying your eyes out give way to days of laughter."

Yeh, it might be weird right now, but hang in, keep the faith and soon the Twilight Zone will give way to the Full Light of God's Goodness and Really Amazing Blessings ZONE!
