an Old Story.

Today I came home a bit late after a dinner and just turned on TV to see something for half an hour. Accidentally I came to watch the story of Moses which is one of the greatest stories of the old testament of the holy Bible. I remember I first read this story when preparing for a bible contest when I was in grade 6. It was very nice true story and a very good movie to watch. In fact it nourishes your faith in God in somewhat. For those of you who do not know the story, I will briefly tell you the story.

Moses is a Hebrew but grew in the Paroa's family in Egypt. after a fight with some soldiers he flew to the desert and there GOD had spoken to him and chosen him to get people out of empire's slavery. There Moses did many astonishing work to get his people out without even having a single soldier. God had done miserable things to Paroa's people and eventually he had to let them go. But finally he chose the fleeing people but Moses with the power of GOD took people making a path on the red sea. When they crosses the red sea, soldiers chasing them were in the middle of the red sea following them. Then Moses lowered his stick and then the waters came down and all of them died. Then God had lead them to the promised land after 40 years of hard life in the desert to teach them how to build a new nation without having slavery orders. - the story in very brief.

When I was watching the movie, it reminded me the power of God and how lucky I am to follow him. Time to time I get to forget how powerful he is and he is the Lord for the whole universe. The question I always get arises here as well. Do I realy believe in God and does my belief has a real value. I am afraid that it has nothing at all compared all these great people. I have to have trust in him. I have to trust him for everything I do. For the studies I do. I have to trust him that he will give me courage, strength and lead me in a successful path in my academic life. That is the difference I should seek compared to others. I should be able to praise him for whatever success I get. I can't question his will because I owe him. I have to remember that the slave is no greater than the master as Jesus once said. In fact I have to keep that in my mind.

If I think carefully, all these earthly bindings and classes doesn't matter to him. The Lord treats Mr. Obama and a normal citizen in the same way. Obama does not get high priority because he is the president and I am not. Its strange. isn't it? yes it is. Everybody has to kneel before him. Whether you are a follower of Christ or not, you will do it eventually. Because every good leads to him and him only.

It is important that we watch these inspiring movies, go to every sunday mass and hear to God's message, love one another and build brotherhood among us and remind ourselves that God had done marvelous things in the past and he is doing them now and will do tomorrow.
