[Ohio-Communities-of-Faith] PERIPETY by Max Lucado

[Maggie Stringer]

If you need a synonym for plot twist, try peripety. It’s a literary device
that describes a redirected story line. It’s that moment in the book that
causes you to stay up past your bedtime because you can’t believe what just
happened. The Red Sea was uncrossable one minute and a pathway the
next. Goliath defied Israel for forty days, but then David loaded a
peripety in his sling and let it fly. In God’s hands no script is
predictable, no story line is inevitable, no outcome is certain. He is ever
a turn of the page from a turn-on-a-dime turnaround. Look in the Bethlehem
barn. Who saw this coming? Or better asked, who saw him coming? He held the
universe in one moment and squeezed Mary’s pinkie the next. He is the God
of grand reversals.
