One of my favorite scenes in Marvel’s movie Iron Man was when Tony Stark, Iron Man, arrived back home from his captivity and asked for a cheese burger before anything else. It was a funny yet profound scene.
It is something I experience in my own life. Trials and crisis has the power to strip us down and simplify us.
Tony could have asked for a fine meal at a great hotel or luxurious vacation to take the trauma and stress of his abduction away, but he asked for a cheeseburger. Tony became a simple man after his kidnapping.
He had stopped his “rich playboy” life style and started focusing in what was really important.
It was also the time that he started noticing how beautiful her secretary was.
Sometimes God permits trials and crisis in our lives to shake us up from our all the meaningless and empty distractions we pursue. Trials taken the right way can lead us to a better appreciation of what we have.
Yes even the cheeseburger.
We realize that even though we got all sorts of problems we can still eat a cheeseburger which may people in the world cannot afford. So can anybody get Iron Man some cheeseburger?
