Facing the Giants
Reaction Paper about Facing the Giants
³Never give up. Never back down. Never lose faith.´T his movie was fantastic; it is a ³must-see´ for everyone. It had me hooked from the previews. Iknew this was a Christian movie, written and produced by a church group, but I had notexpected that even the previews would honor the Lord! That was so awesome; it completelycaught me off-guard; and the movie was tremendous. I highly recommend it.The movie starts with a high school football team that is losing very badly. They are finishing alosing season, and we hear the sports announcer saying that they will have to wait until nextyear for Coach Taylor to pull it up²as he covers the microphone and murmurs, ³That is if theylet him come back next year.´ Aren¶t you so glad that God never gives up on us? People may fail you. Men may turn their backon you; they may betray you. So many times in life, people act just like that group of parentsand sponsors²the backbiting, the criticism, the power struggles seem never-ending at times.God does not need man¶s help to bring results. As demonstrated in this movie, and throughoutthe Bible, prayer and faith take care of that matter²leave the results up to God. Imagineif Jeremiah had quit proclaiming the Word because of lack of results. He didn¶t, becauseregardless of the results or lack, and regardless of what man saw, Jeremiah knew that He wasexactly where God wanted Him.As we¶ve all had times where those who should have supported, helped or encouraged us haveinstead turned their backs, betrayed, criticized, or tried to take over, remember this: The Lordhas promised never to leave you and never to forsake you (Hebrews 13:5)! He loves you as noone else ever could; He loved you enough to give up everything for you, even His life! Wheneveryone else in the world seems to have turned their back on you, God loves you²and HE willALWAYS be there. Remember that. HE will never leave you; He will never forsake you; He willnever betray you. He will
