lessons from prince caspian

I’m not necessarily one of those that spiritualizes every movie or whatever, but obviously our dear ol’ C.S. Lewis’ work is full of parallels to our life as a believer. And I can’t pass that up.

Now to be honest, I didn’t really loooove the newest Narnia movie Prince Caspian. For lots of reasons that I won’t go into in this post. Why, you ask so politely. Well, because I think it may get me stoned by the Christian community. You know us and our “christian” entertainment.

But there were several moments in the film and/or book that have taught me some simple truths about our faith and our Savior. Is it something new? Not really. But its a new lens on older truths that I myself needed a new view of. 

I thought I’d share a few over the next couple of posts.

Toward the end of the film, Lucy heads off into the woods to find Aslan, when she finds him, she makes a statement about how much bigger he is from the last time she saw him.

He replies, “I am not bigger, but every year you grow, you will find me bigger.”

I love that. Just when you think God can’t be any bigger or more powerful, as you grow he grows… or what you see of Him grows. Every year or day I’m growing in my walk and faith, I’m able to see just how big he really is.

If you thought He was big on day 1, the day you surrendered your heart, just give it some time, grow in your faith, and every time you look up he’s even bigger. He’s more powerful than you’ve ever imagined. 

This encourages me to keep growing, keep moving toward my God who is so big that he holds me and everything else in the palm of his hand.
