Plot Twist Week 1: Life Isn’t Over—Even when there’s trouble, you can trust Him. Have you ever gotten really involved in a TV show or book series only to be blind-sided by a major plot twist? Things are going totally fine until the main character gets into an awful accident, becomes friends with the villain, or just dies altogether! When that plot twist happens you find yourself thinking, Is this the end? Did they just ruin the entire thing? Is this somehow going to be the plot twist that makes the story even better? As exciting as those plot twist moments are to watch on TV or read in a book, they’re a little different to experience in real life. Our real life plot twists make us feel disappointed, powerless, and wondering how things will turn around for the better. The good news for us is that many of God’s followers in the Bible experienced major life plot twists long before any of us. One such man is Paul, who experienced a series of life altering plot twists just after he met Jesus. And as we look at what Paul wrote about these plot twists in his own life, we’ll see that, even when it feels like the story has reached an unexpected end, God is still moving and we can still trust Him.
