I may not say something you haven't already thought about, but then again I just might.

Prince and the Pauper
I've been studying the promises that God has given us in the Bible, and sometimes it just seems to be "too good to be true". I mean, everything that we could ever want/need is right there, completely taken care of. We get so beat down all the time thinking like everyone else on this world; forgetting that we are children of a king! We take this FAR and exceedingly to lightly. Do you understand what this means? All that it entails? Think about this, in all the movies the child/children of the king are given the best of everything; they are born to succeed. Everything they could ever need is taken care of completely. They come to expect that every need will be completely taken care of. I have said before that I don't want to let my inner nerd show too much and I think that it's necessary to repeat myself so that I can keep some sort of dignity here. I was watching Clash of the Titans and Perseus was a child of Zeus, which made him a Demi-God. Though he himself (for reasons of the story that are totally irrelevant to the point that I am trying to make) did not, everyone else around him expected him to be favored, they expected him to be cut above everyone else. Yes, I realize that the similarities are faint, but it struck me that, this character, son of a god, could walk in a victory that most others could not. He had the favor and affection of someone bigger than himself. Why are we to be any different? We serve a God who unlike these other fictitious depictions of deity, loves us all the time whether we deserve it or not, has seen where our feet are and where they will be, is never suprised, and who has given us the victory to every battle we could ever face. Why shouldn't we walk taller? Why shouldn't we be fully persuaded that our God will meet all of our needs? Why should we be down cast like everyone else down here? Why should we be moved by things down here? We are different! Face facts, we have more, Expect it! Walk in it!
