The Real Force

Today is Star Wars Day. May the Fourth be with you. But one thing that's clear to me as I watch many of the Star Wars movies is that "the Force" has some strong similarities to the Spirit. They're both invisible, they both provide guidance and warnings, and they both require faith and trust to hear and follow. The main difference (besides the force jumps and telekinesis) is that the Holy Spirit is real, and the force is not. Even without telekinesis, I feel that I could benefit greatly from having the Spirit be a more active force in my life. The warnings it provides can save lives and even souls, and all I have to do is listen to it, and that starts with remembering that this "force" is real.
