Facing the Giants

I watched the movie 'Facing the Giants' at Bethany Youth Centre on the 25th Of August. The beginning of the movie wasn't interesting because I could not really understand what it was talking about. But as I continue watching the movie, I was really touched by the storyline.
The movie was about an American football coach who faced trials one after another and how he eventually surrendered his sorrows and frustrations to God. The scenes that touched my heart were:

• how the coach encouraged a player who thought that it was impossible to crawl 50m across the field carrying another player weighing 160 pounds. The player eventually crawled from one end to the other of the field using his hands and feet while carrying his teammates on his back.
• the coach's wife, together with her husband, had longed for a child of their own but somehow she couldn't conceived because of her husband's physical problem. Despite her disappointment, she cried out to God that she chose to believe that God had better plans for her.

The funny scene in the movie was when the assistant coach guided a player to kick the ball accurately. He used Bible stories to guide the player to kick the ball correctly. The way he explained was really hilarious. Application of Bible teachings!

From the movie, I realised that Christians should not let the giants in our life to rule over us. No matter how tired, disappointed or frustrated we are, we should always focus on God, making Jesus the centre of our life. Good time or bad times, we should focus on Him alone because He's our refuge and strength.

This movie is a good Christian movie. I think it will be great if non Christians watch the movie. MYF will be showing the movie one of the Saturday. I'm so glad I've watched the movie first!!! Muahahaha...!!! I really recommend everyone to watch the movie. This movie also reminded me of the song sung by Don Moen.

I WILL SING

Lord You seem so far away / A million miles or more it feels today/ And though I haven't lost my faith/ I must confess right now/ That it's hard for me to pray/ But I don't know what to say/ And I don't where to start/ But as You give the grace/ With all that's in my heart/ I will sing I will praise/ Even in my darkest hour/ Through the sorrow and the pain/ I will sing I will praise/ Lift my hands to honour You/ Because your word is true/ I will sing/ Lord it's hard for me to see/ All the thoughts and plans you have for me/ But I will put my trust in You/ Knowing that you died to set me free/ But I don't what to say/ And I don't know where to start/ But as You give the grace/ With all that's in my heart
