God has used that verse in Jeremiah so many times in my life, I've lost count! Interestingly enough, yesterday I woke up with some fears re the circumstances I'm currently under. Then I go to do my daily devotion....and guess which verse is featured!! how awesome is that!! Haven't seen Soul Surfer but I know the story. Guess I better watch the movie!!
"Be strong and courageous, be not afraid nor dismayed for the king of Assyria, nor for all the multitude that is with him: for there be more with us than with him:
With him is an arm of flesh; but with us is the LORD our God to help us, and to fight our battles. And the people rested themselves upon the words of Hezekiah king of Judah."
My wife and I recently watched this film. It was good, we both enjoyed it. However, the one thing neither of us liked was that whenever they quoted Phil 4:13 they opted to use 'Him' instead of 'Christ'. In a fully secular film, I can understand that... but in a film that was billed and marketed as a 'Christian Family' film... they should've left the Savior in the dialogue.
Wow! My grandaughter has been running around here today and for the past two weeks carrying that book and showing us the pictures, telling us about the book.
@ddmissions1 thank you.... Maybe the world is in the same situation the Jews were back then.

@PenelopeA57 ha ha... God works that way. He will put the same verse on people's hearts at the same time.

"Christian undercurrents" :)
2 Chronicles 32:7-8...
"Be strong and courageous, be not afraid nor dismayed for the king of Assyria, nor for all the multitude that is with him: for there be more with us than with him:
With him is an arm of flesh; but with us is the LORD our God to help us, and to fight our battles. And the people rested themselves upon the words of Hezekiah king of Judah."

Again, great review on your part.
