In this short movie we see Scrat, yet again, chasing after his dinner, a very tasty acorn, this time his chase is in space!
Applications:
Hunger, Lust, Greed, Desire, Need v Want, Seeking
Poor Scrat! He always just wants to get his food to eat… but he never seems to get what he wants! Maybe you feel like that too, you’re always chasing the things you want, but you never get them. I suppose you have to ask yourself, are you seeking and desiring the right things? We can all want things in life, but if we go after the wrong things, then even when we get them, we won’t be satisfied or happy!
Jesus tells us to hunger and seek after the things of God. In that way we will never be disappointed. Why? Because Jesus said “I am the Bread of Life” (John 6:35) and he showed us that he is able to satisfy our hunger and thirst for life. (John 4:14)
