I watched Man of Steel last
night with the family. I absolutely loved the movie and the actor that played
superman, Henry Cavill.
In the movie, Clark Kent
struggled for years with The WHY question. Why I am like this? Why am I
different? Did God make me like this?
Finally, Clark finds his
father’s consciousness and learns what his purpose is. This knowledge gives him
hope, confidence, direction.
I loved this storyline. Clark
was so full of physical power, able to defy the odds of nature like no other on
earth. Prior to knowing his purpose, he was afraid of how the world would receive
him. What would happen if he slapped on the cape, and became a hero and beacon
of hope? Consequently, anyone bestowed with such unusual greatness risks being
misunderstood, and possibly abused.
But when his native enemies
threatened the planet that is home to him and its people, he must choose the
cape and every responsibility that followed in the wind. And as such, he must
make a choice that goes against the fabric of his being and take his enemy’s
life. I am proud to say, he wore the cape upon his shoulders, and indeed wore
it well. Trailing in the wind we find respect, admiration, and dignity.
The message in the story
made my heart beat faster. Clark learning his purpose, and presented with his
test, afforded him wisdom. Having knowledge means knowing better, applying that
knowing is doing better. That’s wisdom. And wisdom is much stronger than any physical
ability.
The movie served as a
reminder to me the importance of seeking the consciousness of my spiritual Father.
In Him I find purpose. Just knowing my purpose is not enough. It is what I do
that manifests my destiny. I owe that
manifestation to myself and those around me. I am inspired for when Clark Kent followed
his destiny, he became a Superman. A very wise decision indeed.
What will you become when
you are inspired to follow wisdom?
