Darkest Hour (2017) - We Shall Fight on the Beaches
Scene (10/10) | Movieclips
“’But now will you not entreat God’s favour, that He may be gracious to us? With such an offering on your part, will He receive any7 of you kindly?’ says the Lord of hosts. Oh that there were one among you who would shut the gates, that you might not uselessly kindle fire on My altar!
“’I am not pleased with you.’ Says the Lord of hosts, ‘nor will I accept an offering from you. For from the rising of the sun, even to its setting, My name will be great among the nations, and in every place incense is going to be offered to My name, and a grain offering that is pure; for My name will be great among the nations.’; says the Lord of hosts.
“’But you are profaning it, in that you say, ‘The table of the Lord is defiled, and as for its fruit, its food is to be despised.’ You also say, ‘My, how tiresome it is!’ And you disdainfully sniff at it.’ says the Lord of hosts, ‘And you bring what was taken by robbery, and what is lame or sick; so you bring the offering! Should I receive that from your hand?’ says the Lord.” Malachi 1:9-13
Have you ever considered how being a Christian today is a bit like being an island surrounded by evil and enemies on every hand? It is difficult unless you are at church or with others of the Body.
By happenstance, I watched the ending of a movie about Hitler threatening Britain and had never paid enough attention to Churchill’s speech before they were invaded (about 5 minutes long). It brought me to tears as I considered our fight in a world uninterested in salvation…but we must never give up the fight…no matter what the consequences.
Take care with love, especially His! Your servant and friend in Christ, who still prays for you each morning. Darlene
