I saw Prince Caspian twice this past weekend: on Friday night and on Saturday. My personal opinion is that it's better than the first one, and it's full of all kinds of Biblical truths. Here are few things that I was challenged with as I watched the movie (CAUTION: there could be a few spoilers):
- At the beginning, the children loved the land of Narnia more than they loved the lord of Narnia
- When we face difficult situations the tendency is to rely on our own strength or to try to manipulate our way through rather than to truth God
- Don't try to win God's battles for Him; allow God to take on His own battles and use you if that's His desire
- God uses different things in our lives at different times to teach us His Truth
- We cannot try to rehash what we've done in the past and what "would have happened" if we had acted differently; we just have to trust God for today and do as He desires TODAY
- Little children have an easier time seeing God than adults do
- God's timing is perfect
- Words can be used to build up or tear down
- Sometimes the hardest thing to do is admit it when we're wrong
Those are just a few of the things I thought about in relation to the movie. It's a great film, and I highly recommend it. If you have a younger child, be warned that there are a few scary scenes. I'd love to hear thoughts from others about the movie… feel free to comment!
