One Step Beyod

Long ago in the days of black and white television; rabbit ears; and rotary channels selectors with twelve positions, there aired a program called One Step Beyond. It was a half hour show about strange but true events not far removed from the stories of Alfred Hitchcock and Rod Serling.
Computer generated images and modern technology have since pushed the boundary of motion pictures far beyond anything we may have imagined.One thing has not changed; life is still filled with strange happenings. Most of these strange tales spring from the creature we call Man. As these events defy rational, natural explanation, they are consigned the label of supernatural, and by implication---fiction. Yet, the occur.
One step beyond natural explanation is where you’ll find God. God lives at your wit’s end. He inhabits the plane of rational exhaustion and impossible solutions. The psalmist describes His realm:
“They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters; These see the works of the LORD, and his wonders in the deep. For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof. They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble. They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wits' end. Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses. He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still.”
God lives beyond human power. You’ll find Him one step beyond the place in which your strength; your health; and your righteousness fail. You’ll find God where your heart breaks. He’ll be waiting where friends and family forsake you. In the spot where you fall under the burden of life; there you’ll find God’s outstretched hand. Where Man cannot go--God is there; one step beyond your ability.
“ Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. And I will be found of you, saith the LORD...”
