The Book of Eli

"It's not just a book... it's a weapon"

This movie really opens your eyes to how much  people will lose if they lose the Word of God... people seem to forget. I always forget just how precious the Bible is. It seems these people did too... until they lost it.

I could honestly talk about aspects of this movie for a while... legit, I could go on a rant... there's really just two moments in the movie that I would like to point out.... that line I opened with. It hit me like being splashed with ice cold water - How lucky am I, that He has entrusted me with such a powerful thing. A tongue... Literally, we read the Word, and speak it - and it moves mountains. Can you think of anything more powerful? I certainly cannot.

Another point in the movie... IF YOU HAVE NOT YET SEEN THIS MOVIE AND DO NOT WANT IT TO BE SPOILED... DO NOT READ ON.................................................................................

When the guy gets the Bible... it ends up being brail - he calls his maidservant (who is blind) and demands her to read it ... she's yelling at him and then all of a sudden feels what is beneath her fingers and begins to smile as tears fill her eyes. Oh, how precious of an emotion - the refreshing Words of the Lord can bring such peace in a time of desperate need.

This movie was quite fascinating indeed - reminded me of how precious the Word is... something I know many seem to pass by. I am blessed in communion with the Lord... but His written Word is still incredibly dear to Him and still important to read and learn.
