C.H. Spurgeon's Morning Devotional

"Forsake me not, O Lord."-Psalm 38:21
    
    Frequently we pray that God would not forsake us in the hour of trial and temptation, but we too much forget that we have need to use this prayer at all times. There is no moment of our life, however holy, in which we can do without His constant upholding. Whether in light or in darkness, in communion or in temptation, we alike need the prayer, "Forsake me not, O Lord." "Hold Thou me up, and I shall be safe." A little child, while learning to walk, always needs the nurse's aid. The ship left by the pilot drifts at once from her course. We cannot do without continued aid from above; let it then be your prayer to-day, "Forsake me not. Father, forsake not Thy child, lest he fall by the hand of the enemy. Shepherd, forsake not Thy lamb, lest he wander from the safety of the fold. Great Husbandman, forsake not Thy plant, lest it wither and die. 'Forsake me not, O Lord,' now; and forsake me not at any moment of my life. Forsake me not in my joys, lest they absorb my heart. Forsake me not in my sorrows, lest I murmur against Thee. Forsake me not in the day of my repentance, lest I lose the hope of pardon, and fall into despair; and forsake me not in the day of my strongest faith, lest faith degenerate into presumption. Forsake me not, for without Thee I am weak, but with Thee I am strong. Forsake me not, for my path is dangerous, and full of snares, and I cannot do without Thy guidance. The hen forsakes not her brood, do Thou then evermore cover me with Thy feathers, and permit me under Thy wings to find my refuge. 'Be not far from me, O Lord, for trouble is near, for there is none to help.' 'Leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation!'"
    
    "O ever in our cleansed breast,
    Bid Thine Eternal Spirit rest;
    And make our secret soul to be
    A temple pure and worthy Thee."

About Abel's Field
Left motherless by tragedy and abandoned by his father, high school senior Seth McArdle (Samuel Davis) faces enormous pressure as he strives to support his little sisters. At school, he endures the daily bullying of the football team. But fighting back only finds him singled out for punishment and assigned to an after-school work detail under the supervision of the reserved groundskeeper, Abel (SOUL SURFER’S Kevin Sorbo). Much to his surprise, Seth discovers that Abel may be the only one who truly understands his struggles. As dark times lure Seth toward desperate measures, the reluctant Abel may be the one person who can point him back toward the light.

Sony Pictures Home Entertainment
Rated PG
Release date 1/22/13
I was able to review this movie this weekend and it was a wonderful family movie.  You feel for Seth as he tries his hardest in the situation he is given.  He must make the choice of doing what it right in every situation no matter how hard the peer pressure is put on him.  A lesson that all must learn.  This movie isn't all about sports though there are some sport scenes, it isn't about romance though Seth does take a girl on a date.  It is about doing what is right.  Though it is posted as PG it was for brief smoking/drinking scene, violence little scuffle in the school hallway/locker room etc, a school break in those kind of things.  No bad language or sex scene though.

    It would be very hard for a high school boy to take care of his family. It looks like a wonderful story.

    I would like to win the movie to watch with my grandchildren. It is very hard for kids to do the right thing. I think the movie might be helpful in that regard.

    I like that it shows how this young man stands up under adversity and pressure and I would love to see how Abel is a help and mentor to him. Oh and I love Kevin Sorbos acting!
