Video of the Day: Clip from the 2021 movie “The Peanut Butter Falcon” (Language Warning)
Bible Verse of the Day:
My son, pay attention to what I say; turn your ear to my words.21 Do not let them out of your sight, keep them within your heart; 22 for they are life to those who find them and health to one’s whole body. 23 Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. 24 Keep your mouth free of perversity; keep corrupt talk far from your lips, Proverbs 4:20-24.
Biblical Connection:
The Peanut Butter Falcon is a film based upon how certain cultures talk. Subsequently, a fisherman seeking to have his own charter boat has a tendency use 4 letter words in most sentences spoken. I debated on whether to include today’s movie clip, but the message was too great to withhold. Tyler attempts to correct Zak’s perception as a bad guy. While trying to protect Zak from this ungodly belief, Tyler references the words of Jesus in Luke 6:43-45.
King Solomon is one of the first Bible authors to explain the importance of the human heart. Solomon compares your heart to a wellspring for life. Yet, the heart is vulnerable and must be protected to prevent individuals from being corrupted by the world. Although Zak was born with Downs Syndrome, this doesn’t make him a bad person. Whatever baggage that you carry with you from your past, what is in your heart will define the person that you ultimately become.
Closing Song:
The next time someone tries to identity you as a bad person, remember the words of Jesus and Solomon. Guard your heart so that you’ll begin to express the goodness deep down inside of you.
