Horton Hears a Who

One of my favourite movies this year is Horton Hears a Who. It reminds me that humans are really just like a speck in comparison with God. In fact, we are just a speck in a speck in a speck. But God still loves us and was willing to sacrifice Himself for us in order that we may live eternally.

Recently, someone in the US wanted to sue God but the case was thrown out by the court. How he could even come to that stage is beyond me. Well, to judge is not my call. But I shall have my say. I think that some people nowadays think of themselves as some kind of god...goddess...whatever. I think its caused by a few main things - fame, fortune, pride, great success, power. Humans forget their mortality. They can be a 'god' only as long as they are alive....but what happens when they die?

We are bombarded by so much information these days and its easy to loose focus. Recession has already started across the globe and everyone's worried.. some have even lost a lot of money. I think money has a way of controlling our lives. Like the Chinese say, 'No money, no talk'.

There's also people debating over doctrine in churches. Pastor X says this, Pastor Y says that. Who is right and who is wrong? There's the constant political battle... character assassination, etc.

Sigh. Everyone's forgotten who's in charge. Only when bad things happen... God's name is brought up again. 'It's God's fault, why did God allow this?'.

I have this to say.. Don't blame God for bad things that happen. Don't only think about God in desperate times... when there's nowhere or no one else to turn to. Don't leave churches hastily.

Keep your eyes on God. Don't worship people no matter how great, powerful, famous they are. Because they are still mortal.

Seek God first because He always faithful, loving and perfect... He never fails. God is immortal.

But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you as well. Matthew 6:33

He is the Rock, His works are perfect, and all His ways are just. A faithful God who does no wrong, upright and just is He. Deuteronomy 32:4
