Today I want to thank God for the good time yesterday. I watched The book of Eli yesterday.
I was personally challenged by Eli. He was had a strong faith. That came about when he had a personal encounter with God, he heard a voice clearly that instructed him to do head west with the Word of God after an apocalyptic event. I admired how he internalised the word of God , so much so that he's able to recite the whole book before he rested in peace.
He taught Solara a few things, of how to give thanks, how to walk by faith and not by sight ( after saving Solara from the man-eaters) and to do to others more than for oneself ( after he had surrended the bible to Carnegie). I thought he lived out the teachings of God really well. Despite beign surrounded by contant dangers, he was unshaken.
Even when he was shot by Carnegie at the end and had to hand over the bible to him,he didn't questioned God. He was still determined to head to the west and assured that God will protect him. He had fought a good fight and kept the faith.
1) God is able to deliver us in difficult situations.
2) God always works in His own special ways.
I was really inspired to dictate the bible from memory as well. For now,I will just start with some verses.

What I had learn about God in the movie:
1) God is able to deliver us in difficult situations.
2) God always works in His own special ways.
