Star Wars Excitement

To say I’m looking forward to the new Star Wars movie would be an understatement. I am very excited.

To me, it looks as though Han and Leia’s daughter is coming into her own as her brother has turned to the dark side perhaps?

From the look of the trailer, I think this has the potential to win a whole new generation over to the force, and we can put behind us those cartoonish “prequel” nonsense that we were subjected to before.

I. Can’t. Wait!

No One Can Stop You!

But Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh remained alive, of the men who went to spy out the land.

Numbers 14:38

The decisions and disobedience of others will not cancel God’s will for you. Other people’s actions will affect you, but no one can prevent what God wants to do in and through you.

This father was asking that he might come to know God in such a dimension that he could trust Him to cure his son. His son had been possessed by an evil spirit since early childhood.

Calling Down Fire

And when His disciples James and John saw this, they said, “Lord, do You want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them, just as Elijah did?”

Luke 9:54

James and John were called the “Sons of Thunder.” When they discovered a Samaritan village that would not receive Jesus, they were fully prepared to call down fire to consume the entire community! Perhaps they felt that through such a show of power, their gospel message might be enhanced. The two brothers were willing to sacrifice the lives of the villagers in order to further the cause of the gospel. Jesus rebuked them.
