With God we shall do valiantly; it is He who will tread down our foes. Psalm 108:13

Seen the movie Sound of Freedom yet?

It was new this past week. Opened on July 4th.

That’s when we saw it. Powerful film.

It’s a true story about saving trafficked children.

The first one he saves at the U.S. border.

Shocking our beloved country is one of the top 3 destinations for child trafficking.

Worldwide, it’s a 150 billion dollar yearly business.

Ever chosen to attend a movie that begs for respect?

Like not your typical movie?

Read about a young reporter once, who attended a Holocaust movie premier with several survivors.

He was questioned about bringing popcorn to munch as the topic was horrific.

That was me the other day.

Sitting in the movie Sound of Freedom, my husband and I brought nothing.

Water, yes, but that was it. I just couldn’t imagine enjoying food while viewing what I was about to see.

The older couple beside us had a giant container of popcorn and two sodas.

To hear them crunching popcorn while watching the big screen swallow children into oblivion was a stunning contrast.

At one point, the older lady simply said, “Wow”.

I agree.

While I’m not here to judge anyone eating popcorn at a movie, it speaks to something larger.

What is your reaction to sin?

To the injustice of over 1.2 million children trafficked each year, adding to the already insane numbers?

Is your reaction to pat yourself on the back, knowing you are not participating?

Or is it to support the movie, forgetting about it when the credits roll?

Or will you allow it to change you, causing you to seek ways to make a difference?

As Psalm 108 reminds us, when we partner with God, He will destroy our foes.

I for one, have seen enough.

Partner with God to trample not only the enemies we see, but the ones we know exist.

Joined together, we can echo the truth God’s children are not for sale.
