What We Can Learn From Denzel


Today is going to be better than yesterday because you are always getting better.  You are always improving because God is always moving!  Look back on yesterday as a Training Day, meant to get you prepared for the Glory that is here for you today!  You may seem like an everyday average John (or Jane)Q, but when it’s all said and done when everyone else has Fallen and you are still standing and able to tell your Soldier Story, people are going to wonder how you went from being a Man on Fire to an American Gangster.  They are going to think that you had an Inside Man.  You can tell them that it was nothing but God that gave you Courage Under Fire and made you seem like you wereUnstoppable.  If it seems like Déjà vu it’s because Jesus did it before and keeps blessing over and over again. Fear not what your enemies have plotted and planned against you because whatever evil comes at you will Ricochet off of you and bounce right back to them making their schemes Much Ado About Nothing!  You will be so blessed that people will want to make a Carbon Copy of your life because they sit around all day and Cry Freedom, and the freedom that they are crying for is the freedom that God has already granted those of us who put our trust in Him. Those friends that you thought were friends but really they turned out to be Bone Collectors must not be aware that God told Ezekiel to pick those bones up declare that they live and blow breath into them.  See, sometimes people like to pick at the skeleton of your dead dreams and your dead relationships.  However the good news Dear Reader is that you are more than a conquer so when they Remember the Titans they are going to remember you as well.  They are going to look at what you accomplish and the evidence of God in your life is going to be so strong, that folks are going to give God the Glory.  Why?  Cause He Got Game. Folks may have told you that you were Out of Time, and that there was no way that you could make it through the Hurricane when your life was in The Siege.  You don’t have to be a Preachers Wife to know that God is good all the time, and He forever deserves to be praised.

This is what I learned by watching a few Denzel Washington movies (If I left any out…my bad, it was off the top of my head)

You are beautiful, loved, and blessed

John Reed
