hey peeps this is something that i realised upon watching the show 'evan almighy'.
okay those hu have watch might or might not have noticed it but yeah.
well at the start, when 'God' came down to tell him that he has to built and ark, he rejected the offer and dint not listen. but than 'God' further prompts him to do it until he does. well same goes for us, when God calls us to do something that we think that is crazy or out of this world, we will like no way man, i am not going to do it. but when we see the picture and get to know that this is wad really have to do and all than we accept it.
well something struck me was when like he went into the congress and he was dressed like 'noah'. the shaggy look, the long hair and long beard. yeah. everyone in that congress room than started laughing at him!
well normal reaction? well wad came to me was like, lets take oursleves as an example. okay looking like 'noah' or 'jesus like' will definitely make some ppl laugh. like 'haha, wad is this guy trying to do.' u see, upon doing God's work, we will turn out to look and be more like Him in the process, and by doing so, ppl will laugh and even try to put us down.
like in the movie, when he was asked to like name the person that asked him to built the ark. he said 'God.' well before he said that, his wife at home was like 'do not say it, do not say it.' this shows that yeah, some ppl do believe in God, but when it comes to saying His name, saying that He has called us to do something, might bring shame to the ones we love or noe becos it might give their frens, who are not religious or do not believe in a God like, dang he is crazy!
the next thing that i wan to say about this movie was when the wife left the husband, she went with the kids to this fast food joint, as she was really depressed she ate alot. when the kids went to the toilet, she asked the waiter to like top it up for her again. than when the waiter turned ard, it was 'God'. (but she dint knew that it was him)
well wad God said to her was that He dont jus give u the things that u ask for. he wont go 'poof, there u go! now u have the thing that u asked!' no he doesnt do that, well wad he said was that He gives us the opportunity to get the things that we want.
lets say if we want courage, He will put us in a situation that gives us to show our courages side. if we want to be closer to ouse family, He'll give us the opportunity to do so. Him giving us that chance to do so is one thing, but its whether we realise it or and take it or we jus ignore it.
and wad jeremy chua always tell me 'God will NEVER put u in a place that needs changing, He puts us somewhere for something.'
