When all else fails, God is faithful.
It’s true, but it’s hard to hear when you get fired, you get dumped, your father abandoned your family, your friend commits suicide, your husband cheats on you with another woman, or you are betrayed by a friend.
Our God is a God of justice.
I was reminded of this last night when my wife and I received some prophetic encouragement from a group of people at Borders bookstore.
Sometimes God allows his children to be treated unjustly so that he can swoop in and deliver promotion. He IS the God of justice. So when injustice occurs, he has the right to bring justice. He blesses his children with increase and promotion when their hearts are stayed on him.
Already very late to the party, FOX continues to prove that they don't understand customer satisfaction. This time last year, you couldn't watch all primetime television shows from FOX. Only a few were available, and you had to watch them on MySpace.com/fox.
This Fall season, FOX got their butts in gear and provided their own streaming video player on their own website. And guess what? You can FINALLY watch House MD online! Hurray!
But wait! There's a catch! You can only watch House 8 days after it airs on television! WHAT?!?!?!? If you happen to miss the show's original air date, you have to wait until one day AFTER the next week's episode.
This is yet another network television company's attempt to encourage you the viewer to watch the original airing. Which makes no real sense, since FOX can make money through online advertising before and in the middle of shows like every other television station online.
This is a case of telling the customer to stick it. FOX doesn't care that you can't afford TiVo. FOX doesn't care that you have a family and a life where you can't always sit in front of the boob tube. They want you to watch their show when it airs or they're going to penalize you and make you wait.
The other major television networks take a maximum of 48 hours after television broadcast to post episodes online. Most are available the morning after.
So, FOX, are you going to start thinking about we the people? Or should we just accept that you think you can put us on hold and we won't do anything about it?
When all else fails, God is faithful.
