God tucks his truth away in a lot of different places for us to discover it or to be reminded of it. Often the people conveying the truth don't even realize its source or the One who planted it there within them.

Joan and I watch movies and we are amazed at how often Gospel truth comes out in the movies in a number of lines. One example is from the movie about the small unlikely racehorse Seabiscuit. Tom Smith, the future trainer of Seabiscuit, is asked by Charles Howard, the future owner of Seabiscuit, why he is working to save a horse that was going to be destroyed because of a leg injury. Tom replies "You know, you don't throw a whole life away just 'cause he's banged up a little." Charles Howard later applies the same truth when Tom wants to fire their jockey for his failure to mention his blindness in one eye that cost them a race. Question to ponder, are there people in our lives today that we need to apply this message to? Perhaps we even need to apply it to ourselves?

God is like Tom Smith the horseman. He fixes us because He can and He often uses us to fix each other. God loves redemption.
