Facing the Giants

This is a movie that I think that everyone should see, kind of like the love dare. Just a great movie that I will never in a million years forget. I had been wanting to see it for a pretty good while, and Friday night we weren't up for doing much so I got a pizza and a movie. I am not going to ruin the movie for ya'll if you haven't seen it, but all I can say is WOW. God really does work in amazing ways. Movies, books, sermons, time with friends and family, quiet time, and busy times alike. This movie just reminded me that I need to prepare all parts of my life for our Savior and the tremendous sacrifice that he freely gave. But folks, I am a sinner like the rest of you and here is an example from this morning. I woke up grumpy, now I am not a morning person, but this was grumpier than usual. Picking fights, not being right with the Lord on His day, all around a sinnnnnneeerrrrrr!!! Then I got put in my place, and I needed it and loved it all the same. See Ephesians 6:10-13 if you want to know where the "wack up side the head" came from. The power that we have in this life only comes from one place, you can sit back and deny it till you die, but brothers and sisters I know where my strength comes from, but even me, and you, and all of us can be tricked by the devilish schemes of Satan. That reminder is exactly what I needed this morning, and I might even need it again tomorrow morning, but I can guarantee you what I will fight harder next time. Because Jesus Christ gives me that strength, and our Holy Father knows the scheme even when we don't and that comforts me because there is always someone watching my back. So here's to us facing the giants no matter how big or small they may be.
