Nemo
Nemo goes out into the sea to touch the boat, even though Marlin tells him not to.
We sometimes test God's patience in this way.
Why do you call me "Lord" but you do not keep my commandments? Luke 6:46
Simba
In "The Lion King" there is that scene with samba hopping around on hippos and he JUST CANNOT WAIT TO BE KING. We are like that with God, we can't wait to go to heaven, so much so, we tend to ignore God like simba ignores Zazu. What happens to simba? He falls in the hyena lair and his dad has to save him. We fall into a bad spot (just where Zazu told us not to go) and we expect God to save us.
Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men. Colossians 3:23
Scar
In the Lion King there is a scene where Scar has taken over Pride Rock and is now the king of the animals. He has a little cave from Which he rules and he sits in the middle and he puts Zazu in a cage in the corner. While he's sitting there he thinks he's a big shot, ruling the world. Scar gets bored, he pokes Zazu over there with a stick and orders him to sing. Sometimes we treat God like scar treats Zazu. We think we are on top of the world and we don't need God. We get bored and we go poke around the bible for a second, ordering God to sing for us.
You were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body.1 Corinthians 6:20
