The world is changed by "Acts of Random Kindness". (In fact, the Evan Almighty website has a place where people can record their own Random Acts of Kindness.) Saw this movie tonight and just really loved its meaning and messages.
- Get above the status quo and our ego and really listen for what you are called to do (this call will follow us and get stronger and stronger until we act upon it)
- If you want to change the world, first find out God's priorities
- God gives us everything we need to accomplish the task at hand. Noah was provided with what was needed as was Evan. The materials were delivered to his front yard. When God asks us to do something he's not going to fail to equip us to do it. God doesn't call the equipped, He equips the called.
- God always answers our prayers (often in ways we don't imagine). Favorite quote from the movie:
"If someone prays for patience, do you think God gives them patience? Or will He maybe give them the opportunity to be patient? If courage is prayed for, does God give you courage, or does He give you opportunities to be courageous? And if someone prays for their family to be closer, do you think God zaps them with warm fuzzy feelings, or does He give them more opportunities to love each other?"
Guess this means that if you ask for money, He gives you the opportunity to earn the money. If you ask for wisdom, He gives you the opportunity to learn.
