For Such a Moment as This

“This way is left, but which way is right. Oh, now I'll be circling in circles all night. Oh, so this is forward, no problem. I can't believe I can do this and more; to swim in the sea, like I walk on the shore. Out of my shell, not closed up like a clam. God see, this is me, here I am…”“For a moment, I can shine. Get a grin and a fin that works fine. My fingers are wrinkly, I really don't care, if all of my curls have curled out of my hair. For a moment, I can feel all the dreams I'd been dreaming are real. Wish my mother could hear it, the sea is my song. For a moment, just a moment, I belong.”- Melody (Disney’s The Little Mermaid 2: Return to the Sea, 2000)“You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt has lost its taste (purpose), how can it be made salty? It is no longer good for anything, but to be thrown out and walked on by people [when the walkways are wet and slippery].” (Matthew 5:13)When everything was hopeless, Abraham believed in hope anyway, deciding to live not by the basis of what he saw in the moment, but by God Who said what he will see become (Romans 4:18).Step By Faith:Salt isn't meant to stay in the shaker—it changes everything it touches. God didn't place you where you are by accident. For such a time as this, choose to believe His promises and let your life bring hope, courage, and the flavor of Christ to someone today.Verses for Thought:Matthew 5:13 / Romans 4:18 / Psalm 42:7 / Psalm 16:11 / Ephesians 3:20 / Deuteronomy 4:29 / Psalm 82:6 / Isaiah 43:1 / Joshua 1:9 / 1 Samuel 16:7 / Jeremiah 29:11-13 / Romans 8:38-39 / John 8:32 / 1 Corinthians 13:12 / 2 Corinthians 5:7 / Psalm 84:10Email Me!If you enjoyed today's episode, are enjoying this season, and/or if you have any comments, questions, want to leave a review, provide feedback, and/or would like to hear an episode or a season in reference to your favorite Disney/Pixar film, feel free to reach out to me via email @ animatedfaithpodcast@gmail.com.
