God's Reality TV Show

One of my favourite films is "The Truman Show", which I've watched numerous times. Truman doesnt know that he was born and has been living in a reality TV show his entire life. All his loved ones and colleagues are actors, and the strangers he meets occasionally are extras. Every day of his life has been created, scripted and directed by Christof.* (See note below).  When Truman eventually realises that he's in a TV show, he is given the choice whether he wants to remain in the show or go out into the big bad world. Truman chooses to exit the show. I believe when I gave my life to Jesus Christ and accepted Him as my Lord and Saviour, I chose to live in a Reality TV show where  the Living God is the writer, producer, director, casting director, actors and extras. Here are some examples of God at work.

Loving Your Neighbour

I've never met my neighbour who lives next door before.  Apparently, she is now 101 years old and no longer goes out. She has carers who come to check up on her. Another neighbour visits her.

I checked out the TV guide and sure enough, it was "You Only Live Twice" with Sean Connery. I'm watching it now, with her.  That's one way to connect with your neighbour. 😂❤️ Photo courtesy of Google Images

Songs of Praise

I've been watching "Songs of Praise" with Pam Rhodes interviewing the singer, Barbara Dickson on BBC1.    Over the years, they've had many different presenters on that TV orogramme, but the formula remains the same. My mum used to watch it  religiously every week.  I could go for months and even years and not watch it, but it's nice to know that the programme is always there when I'm ready to come back to it. It reminds me of God. We may forget God and do our own thing, but He's always there waiting for us to come home to Him. "Be Thou My Vision" was one of the hymns Barbara Dickson chose as one of her favourites.  I love it as well. Here is a video of the hymn from YouTube. ❤️ https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Songs_of_Praise
