KNOWING HOW IT ENDS

[Wisdom] ... sees everything. Wisdom 7:23

We've seen this movies a hundred times. I warn myself that a tear-jerking scene is coming up hoping to preempt the inevitable weeping. The scene comes and I fail, sobbing with resignation into my pillow.

I like watching movies like these over and over again. I hear lines that I didn't catch the first time or I see subtleties in the acting or cinematography that make me appreciate the movie more. Strangely, however, the biggest reason why I like re-watching movies is I find it comforting to watch a story unfold when I

already know how it ends. I don't get chest pains from extreme anticipation; I don't shield my eyes or cringe during uncomfortable scenes because I already know what to expect.

Having the gift of wisdom is like knowing how the movie ends. Just like everyone else, you go through the giddy and heartbreaking moments of life, but unlike the unwise, you are deeply calm because you know that God is in charge. And when He is in control, there can be only one kind of ending: A happy one. Anne dG.

REFLECTION:

Are you looking forward to heaven?

Lord, grant me the wisdom to know that You are in control
