One of the things I enjoy doing, is watching game shows. I spend most of my day reading, studying, praying, processing what God is saying and ministering to many people, so when I get down time my go to is a television show that doesn’t need me to think, I can just relax, laugh and enjoy the show. This is why I love watching sports as well. One of the shows I used to watch when I lived in Malaysia was Wipeout. If you have never watched this game show, it is really funny and very entertaining. It is basically an obstacle course for adults, who have chosen to dress up in some very creative way to run the course. They have water being shot at them, big balls to jump on, spinning things to get over, all in an attempt to knock them off the course. Many fall down on the course and others fall off the course into the water below. It is a see it to fully understand it kind of show.

The Lord brought this game show to mind this morning as I thought about the reality that today is the last day of Tishri (Hebrew month); there is a new moon tonight: there is a solar eclipse today; there is a war happening in Israel; there are protests all over the world; there are attacks happening in France; and their are rockets in the air and boots on the ground in Israel. Signs in the heavens above and signs on the earth below. It can feel, look and sound like the perfect storm in the natural. Yet the Lord reminds me of a game show called Wipeout.

Life has a lot of things thrown at us to get us off course; the news sprays us with bad news all day long; people fight; money rises and falls; moons are new every month, suns go dark, but they are not to be ignored, nor are they to be feared. The enemy is trying to throw you off the course, but the Lord is trying to get you to the finish line to declare victory over the enemy. Now the choice is yours, will you let the many obstacles being thrown at you take you out, or will you lift up you eyes to where your help comes from (Psalm 121)? It’s a lot I know, I feel it too, but there is a God who has seen the end from the beginning and if He is not scared, neither should we be. The enemy is trying to wipe us out, but God is raising us up for such a time as this. We were born for this day, arise and shine for your light has come and the glory of the Lord is rising upon us. Rejoice!!!!!!
