Wizard of Oz

The Wizard of Oz is one of my favorite movies. While in prayer this morning I began to think about it. Dorothy was searching for something. She made many friends along the way who journeyed with her on her search. May things and people tried to stop them on their journey. They had a lot of fun along the way and also faced a lot of hardships. This kind of reminded me of my walk with the Lord. In my quest for him, I have made many friends who are also seeking the Great And Powerful One" As like Dorothy and her friends we are seeking a way home. Many things try to stop us. Fear, doubt, roadblocks, nightmares. The flying monkeys, the witch, the talking trees in the dark forest. All of these were nightmares for Dorothy and her friends.

The lion wanted courage.. God told Joshua to be strong and of good courage. The scarecrow wanted a brain,God gave Solomon wisdom.The tin man wanted a heart, The Bible says Love one another as Christ has also loved us. What an amazing parallel this story is in our walk with God. While I don't believe in Fairies ,I do believe in angels. But the ending of this story for us who are believers will be very different. When we finally get to the great and Powerful One,He will be real, not just a fake.
