Yesterday we went to the movie, "Angels and Demons." Personally I think the Vatican has nothing to fear from this movie. The movie begins with scientist trying to capture the essence of God. They want to know how He created the heavens and earth. Too bad they didn't recognize Genesis as reality.:) (Ironically, none of the movie is about real angels or demons.)
The angels in the title refer to the statues of angels in Rome. (Part of me wanted to see the movie hoping to see Heidi in one of the shots. Heidi my daughter, is living in Rome. :) I seen the statues and a lot of the churches and places she has been, but not Heidi. :( ) The only demon in the movie was living in a priest in the movie. It was suspenseful, but the story was full of flaws and holes.
For example the professor flew from America to Italy on a flight. When he arrived it was still the same day, during afternoon hours. Rome is six hours a head of GA. time, so that's impossible. That was one of many flaws.
I know that there really is a science Lab in Switzerland that is trying to make an antimatter to capture the essence of God. Isn't it Ironic, that as believers we have captured the essence of God? By simply believing and asking Him to come into our heart and guide our life, we have His guiding force for the rest of our life. We only have to trust and obey.
If God has opened your heart, mind and soul to His light, you have been given the very things scientist and scholars are seeking. Let's pray that God will also open others eyes to the realities that are simple enough for a child to understand, yet more complex than anyone of us will ever figure out. Humans have a very limited mind, but God's mind is absolutely limitless and all knowing.
Maybe that's why, when people say aren't you scared of.... I can confidently say, "No, God is in control of my fate. When He doesn't calm my storms, He holds me close. I am confident God will see me through whatever this life throws at me."
I don't say that without knowing there will be days I hate what is happening. . Does that make sense? The storms I've already weathered with my Lord, have brought me closer to the God I love.
"Then Jesus Cried out, "When a man believes in me, he does not believe in me only, but in the one who sent me. When he looks at me he sees the one who sent me. I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness."
John 12:44-46 (NIV)
"But the man who looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues to do this, not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it-he will be blessed in what he does." James 1:25 (NIV)
" This is what God the Lord says-he who created the heavens and stretched them out, who spread out the earth and all that comes out of it, who gives breath to it's people, and life to those who walk on it:
"I, the Lord, have called you in righteousness; I will take hold of your hand, I will keep you and make you to be a covenant for the people and a light for the Gentiles, to open eyes that are blind, to free the captives from prison, and to release from the dungeon those who sit in darkness.
"I am the Lord, that is my name! I will not give my glory to another or my praise to idols." Isaiah 42:5-8 (NIV)
This is the I AM the scientist seek and maybe who you are seeking. He wants to be your personal Savior! Ask Him to open your eyes.
"The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they can not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is in the image of God." 2 Corinthians4:4 (NIV)
"So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal."
2 Corinthians 4:18 (NIV)
Just as we can not see the wind we feel it and know it is there. God is not seen, but felt. He must open our eyes and heart to His spirit, but when He reveals Himself it's critical that we trust and obey Him.
Believers we need to pray hard that God will open the hearts and minds of our family, friends and world to see and know Him.
