Deja vu

"Deja vu"

Bible Verse: 1 Corinthians 10:11-12

                       
Focus: 1 Corinthians 11

One of my favorite all time movie series is the Matrix.  I especially like in the first one where the main character Neo experiences deja vu for the first time, and the sub character Trinity explains to him what it is.  In the Matrix, deja vu occurs when ever a change has been made to the original programing. The word deja vu comes from the French, meaning already seen.  It is the phenomenon of having the strong sensation that an event or experience currently being experienced has been experienced in the past.  Like wise I am a firm believer that in life, were are doomed to repeat lessons over and over again until you get it right, but most of us forget the first time we experienced it, so when it comes around again, unlike Neo, we don't get the deja vu.  With all the ups and down of life that we experience day to day it is easy to ignore or forget the lessons that we have learned.  But in todays reading Paul is actually giving us a heads up to remember the Israelites and what they learned and experienced with God the Father, but more importantly, the errors of their ways.  Today, as you go throughout your day, take careful notice to what happens and the lessons learned, giving care to notice if any of those are deja vu, if so, just like with the Matrix, make a change, a different decision, choose and alternate pathway, and watch God order those steps.

Be Blessed
