Where Do You Look?

For this blog, I was inspired last night when I caught the last part of Disney's The Lion King. Take a look at this youtube clip.

There are three main points in this clip that I want to reveal and have you, my readers, understand.

1) The first one comes from Simba saying "I can't change the past". I use to think the same thing and in fact I still do. However; I have grown in understanding that even though I cannot change what I did in the past; I very well can change the future. If you are like me, you know how hard it is to overcome your past and make a difference in the future. No fear, God has given us forgiveness through His loving Son who died for our sins.

Romans 8:28
"We know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him. He appointed them to be saved in keeping with his purpose"

This means that we can keep going forward into the Hope of a future because it is God who will make our ugly past into something so beautiful.

2) "you said you'd always be here for me, but your not." I wonder how many times I have uttered these words to God. Sometimes I feel alone and sometimes I have a hard time believing that He is here for me when my world is crashing down. It is pride that keeps us from God. It is selfish earthly desires that we get caught up in that makes us question if He is really there.

Deuteronomy 31:6
"Be strong and brave. Don't be afraid of them. Don't be terrified because of them. The Lord your God will go with you. He will never leave you. He'll never desert you."

God always keeps His promises and one of them comes from this verse. This has helped me get through a lot of trials and pain. Hopefully it will encourage you as well.

3) You are a daughter or son of the Most Highest King!- Never forget that He is your Father. When we start forgetting who and where we come from, we fall because we forget His promises that go with them.

Don't forget- You are His daughter! You are His son!

Matthew 19:14
"Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me. Don't keep them away. The kingdom of heaven belongs to people like them.""


Look to the King of Kings!
