Sorry Mrs. Gump: MY life is nothing like a box of chocolates!
One of the most quoted lines in recent cinema history, is a classic example of how nonsense can spread, when people fail to challenge it. In the 1994 hit movie, Forrest Gump, the title character famously says: “My mamma always said, Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get.”
I don’t really know what made me even think of this quote while driving down the road the other day. But, it just hit me. That’s stupid!
I know who holds my future! Good or bad. I DO know what I’m gonna get. Exactly what HE has for me.
Deuteronomy 32:4 - 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.
Hello? His word says, HIS WORKS ARE PERFECT… HIS WAYS ARE JUST… A FAITHFUL GOD WHO DOES NO WRONG!
Psalm 18:30 - As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is flawless. He is a shield for all who take refuge in him.
Again, HIS WAY IS PERFECT… THE WORD OF THE LORD IS FLAWLESS!
Come what may, come what might… Lord, I trust you! I don’t know, maybe it’s just me…
- Jeff Cecil
