I don’t remember the last time I cried. Yeah yeah, sounds sappy and stupid, but today, I actually teared. The strange thing is, I was watching “Evan Almighty” when I had a sudden wave of revelation of some sort. Risking blasphemy here, but I think God uses many things to speak to people. Issues of discernment saved for another post, I think something was made clearer to me today than ever before.
I don’t mean to undercut the effectiveness of God’s written word in the Bible, because I’ve had many a moving from the Bible itself. I’m trying hard to say things that I don’t know how to say right now. All I know is, there’s something both terrifying and overwhelmingly beautiful about the mysterious ways of God. I had no idea I was going to be so enlightened by a movie such as this, but I think today God put together another piece of the puzzle that is Him.
Goodness, look at me stuttering and scraping for words here. I don’t know how to describe it, and I don’t think I really should. Some things are better discovered first-hand. The movie? Yes, it does its job and then some. This is a feel-good film filled with very good illustrations and lessons IMO. I’d suggest watching it even if you don’t know the Biblical version of Noah’s ark.
Now, if I can get her to watch this with me, well, it’d be a good place to start.
