Well, it's 3 A.M. on a Wednesday. Why on Earth am I writing in my blog right now? Glad you asked. I happened to have just learned a little nugget of spiritual application from a very unusual source and I found it worthy of sharing.
I just left the midnight showing of Transformers 2. I, along with seemingly half of the "under-25" population of Nacogdoches, had nothing better to do at midnight on a Tuesday in the middle of summer. Transformers 2 has been the most hyped movie of the summer, and thus had inspired hope within me that I would potentially experience a cinematic masterpiece the likes of which other midnight shows have produced (Lord of the Rings Trilogy, The Matrix, etc.). Sadly, that was far from the case.
In this case, the sequel drastically paled in comparison to its predecessor. But, that's the end of my movie review. On to the good stuff.
I was standing over my bed, about to crash for a bit before tomorrow starts, when I thought to myself "well that was a bunch of wasted hope and anticipation", to which that still, small voice in my soul quietly whispered, "yes, but thankfully, your hope in the Lord will never be wasted. Your anticipation of His glory revealed will never return unfulfilled."
I chuckled to myself, realizing that I just gleamed some spiritual truth from a less than spectacular movie-going experience. Hope in the Lord is never wasted.
Faith in Him is built on rock solid promises, not Hollywood hype.
A personal encounter with the Holy Spirit never leaves me unsatisfied.
The make-believe and the escape end when the movie is over, but this adventure called the Christian Life goes on forever.
Your life in Christ doesn't fade to black. Music doesn't play and credits don't roll.
The best part is...we know the Director and the Star of the show personally.

Think about it. Be blessed...
