Just a few things God showed me through the Avengers movie

I went and saw probably the best movie I have seen in about a year (Wooohoo Harry Potter Deathly Hallows part 2) and well that was the new Avengers movie.

It was fantastic, and I mean FANTASTIC. I loved most every second of it. And on the car ride home I just kind of was taking in all that was the movie, and God started to show me things.

Loki thought he was the rightful king. Now so did Satan. He felt he was far beyond God’s power so he wanted to rule. God obviously wasn’t about to have that and cast him out of heaven. (Isaiah 14:12-14)

Throughout the movie they repeated multiple times, “Loki in the end there is no victory or throne for you, even though you have an army” In the end there is no victory for Satan; God is the victor. It is going to be a rough battle, but I have the satisfactory of knowing I am on the winning side. Good > Evil. and in the end Loki doesn’t win. He loses. They were right!

It took a sacrifice for the heroes unite. (Spoiler alert) In the movie Phil has to die in order for the Avengers to unite their front in order to fight in the war. I like to think that Jesus is our sacrifice, and He should be the front that we unite upon.

Together we are stronger. Well it took the sacrifice to unite them, but in the end all of the Avengers were better off as a team and working together. I like to think that as a body of believers, we are better when we work together. Although we may have excellent gifts and strengths of our own, with all of our strengths and gifts we can get more done and do a better job while we’re at it. Individually we are good, together we are better.

There is a war going on. Things are going to get damaged and things are going to get messy. Throughout the entire last hour of the film is the war scene. Amidst it all there are buildings being demolished and streets torn up from the battle, and not just one side is causing it. In order to fight a winning fight the heroes had to fight hard, even if that meant tearing apart a city in order to save a civilization. WE ARE IN A WAR. We need to fight a good fight. Sometimes we are going to get injured and sometimes things are going to get damaged around us and we’re not always going to know what to do. It’s all just a matter of knowing that God is in control, and that we are going to win this war. In order to save people, we have to do damage to the other side.

and last but not least

Fighting is going to make you hungry. Now this is the silliest thing I took from the entire movie, but at the very end after all the credits have rolled… and I mean ALL of them, there is a scene with all of the Avengers eating. There is absolutely no dialogue. It’s really quite hilarious if you ask me, but it has a point to sum up all of my points. When we fight really hard, and we make ourselves through victories big or small, we are going to be hungry. We need to allow ourselves that time to eat. To take in. To fuel. Especially if we are going to go out and fight another battle. We need to keep hungry and allowing God to feed us. It might seem small, but it’s important!

I don’t know why I decided to probably over-read into the movie, but I did. I liked what I got out of it. It makes me feel so proud to serve such and incredible God and how blessed I am to know Him. I am literally in awe over God just because of a Hollywood film. It’s funny how things work out like that :)

From the Outside Looking In

I can’t help but think that I’ve become a stranger in my own world.

I have been blessed with the series of open doors that God has provided me with in order to go back to University and move out of this quaint little town and move to Phoenix, Arizona. There is no part of me that is more excited, I finally get my dream! However I am back in a period of transition, and those always seem to be the hardest phases of life. You are where you are, but you want to be where you are going.

I’ve learned to cherish these times just because this may be the last time you are in this part of life. It’s like loving it the most before it has to go. But somehow I feel like this in-between phase doesn’t want to cherish me back. It’s almost as if it wants me out as soon as possible.

I have been feeling very wedged out. Almost as if the masterpiece is being made and the artist decided to throw me out because I didn’t belong in this piece of art. I know I belong in a masterpiece, I have just yet to find it; I am so close I can tell.

Now this is what gets me. I feel all of the people I love and adore here at home almost pushing me out. It’s not intentional, but it’s happening. I feel very distant from everyone and as if there is no way to get close again. Even my mom, although she doesn’t see it, has been making a life possible without me.

The good thing about all of this is that it is making it easy to leave, the bad thing about all of this… Is that it is making it easy to leave. If anything I want to cherish what time I have left in this time of my life, and I want to be cherished in return. It just doesn’t seem like I will be. Life here in sweet old Castle Rock will move on without me.

As much as that needs to happen, it is hard to watch.

This will always be my home and where I come from. I just hope that is something I never forget.
