COMMENTS ABOUT TRUSTING GOD
BY MARCUS PITTMAN
Then there's Detective Lorenzo who has personal issues of his own to deal with, he is persecuted for siding with the "white cops" and he has a son in jail, but he is ok with it. He has faith. Lorenzo's faith is not a key role in the movie and whether or not he has it would not affect the final outcome or it's overextended ending. But it does make for some really inspiring theological quotes, that ask why God lets bad things happen?
"I believe in God, whatever happens, the good things and the bad things, happen because God wills it...Let go and let God." - Lorenzo Council
I haven't heard that great of a line from Samuel L. Jackson since he pondered the disappearance of his super suit in The Incredibles. While focusing on this movie my current automobile situation was on the back of my mind. But I couldn't help but be comforted upon hearing those reassuring words. "Let go and let God."
The apostle Paul wrote about hard times and struggles.
"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God." --2nd Corinthians 1:3-4
I should praise God in my time of struggles, thank him for what he is going to bring out of it.
When I have the very person who spoke all of creation into existence on my side, I should treat car troubles like I would a rainy day. I don't even care about my car now, God has another used one waiting for me in someones front yard, He just needs to show me the classified ad.
My suggestion: Give all of your struggles, be it missing children, financial problems, medical struggles, or a really screwed up Oldsmobile to the One with all the answers, and see how he surprises you.
