Conan O’Brien posted his first (and only) tweet about interviewing a squirrel in his back yard.  Less than 24 hours later, he’s approaching 300,000 followers on Twitter.  Other oddities from his new Twitter page?  He follows zero people (maybe I could be the first?) and the “Web” link comedically points back to the same Twitter page.

My favorite part of Conan’s new Twitter account, though, it his one-line bio: “I had a show. Then I had a different show. Now I have a Twitter account.”  Have you ever felt that way?  It reminds me of this passage from the Bible:

When all you owned was taken from you, you accepted it with joy. You knew you had better things waiting for you in eternity (Hebrews 10:34, NLT).

The people receiving this letter lost more than a TV show. Their property was plundered.  They were beaten and endured public ridicule.  They went through “terrible suffering.”  And they did it joyfully.  How?  They knew better things were coming.  Specifically, an eternity where sin and suffering become distant memories of the past.

I hope you have that hope too. Whatever loss you endure on earth — whether it’s the cancelation of a late night TV show or something far worse — keep pressing on, looking to better days that are coming.  Better than you’ve ever imagined!
