Aaron McLellan--Sea Biscuit

In the movie “Sea Biscuit” there is a racing horse named Sea Biscuit and a jockey with a bad temper.  Both have been written off and no one thinks they could ever win a race.  Both are too wild and firey.  But when they cross each other’s path, the owners of the horse want the jockey to work with him.  It is interesting that the horse is considered too small to race and the jockey was considered too big to race.  But they do race and they rise to the top and become the best in America during the Depression.  It made me think of the scripture in Romans of the Bible where Paul writes that “the God, who gives life to the dead and calls things that are not as though they were.”  Applying this verse to this movie reminds me of how powerful God is.  To everyone else, it seemed that these two should not be racing but they did and they won.  It seemed that only an act of God could resurrect these to characters’ careers.  God is not limited by our boundaries and capabilities.  I think everyone has stories where God has called things that are not as though they were.
