HP & the Half-Blood Prince

As ya'll know I'm a fan of Harry Potter. I even waited in line for the midnight showing. At last, the movie began and for two and a half hours I entered a make-believe world.

One of my fave parts of the movie is when Harry drinks Felix Felicis (a potion that gives you good luck), then he succeeds at anything he attempts. In the book it says, "It was as though the potion was illuminating a few steps of the path at a time: He could not see the final destination, ...but he knew that he was going the right way." It reminded me of the Holy Spirit. When you're guided by the Spirit, it's a lamp unto your feet. Sometimes I wish it were a high-beam headlight, but God doesn't operate like that. Why?? Because it builds faith. You trust in Him to get you through. You don't rely on your own strength. Could Harry Potter accomplish his mission on his own? Maybe. Could he accomplish it with the Felix Felicis? Heck yes! When we rely on God, depend on Him for each step, we grow closer to Him. So when the Holy Spirit prompts you, obey. You already know the ending of story, so you can boldly act with confidence.

If God is for us, who can be against us? Romans 8:31
