This scene is so wonderful, really. It is at the end of the movie, Finding Nemo.
It’s at the end of every tributary of our lives. At the end of each quest. At the end of the massive plan that’s motivated us through all the adversity and pain along the way.
There is a plan, that comes for some of us in clear delineation! But there is also a way which seems right to a man.
There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death.
Proverbs 14:12
Another verse or two that I need to mention right away, Matthew 6:33-34 and a verse or two earlier, 19-21
21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also… 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
While I’m at it… another one that’s caught my attention over the years is one which JB Phillips renders,
Yet we urge you to have more and more of this love, and to make it your ambition to have no ambition!
I think it’s a common delusion in our day, the idea that we are to pick a dream, and confess it outloud… I don’t know the exact rhetoric.
But another colour needs to be added to this painting,
10 So now, go. I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people the Israelites out of Egypt.”
Traffic flow…
Here’s what I don’t get. Why I have to have no ambition, and end up with nothing that I’m allowed to do. Others seem clearly to have ambition and all the opportunities are given to them. Why am I the only one who’s forbidden to have ambition? Why are they with all their ambition and pushing other people out of the way able to continue on doing what they do as if the rule doesn’t apply to them?
