finishin up my weekly walk thru southern mecca (wally world) and pickin’ up what we would need for week’s meal prep and it got me thinkin about meal prep (well, let’s be honest, it was already on my mind or else I wouldn’t have already BEEN in here!) … then, it got me thinkin’ about how we treat the soul food (no, not that soul food, but, come to think of it, maybe i can use that sweet baby ray’s …. back on track cecil!) and how meal prep works there too … this basket of groceries starts off all over the world, ends up on trucks, on shelves, but, only once we deliberately choose to put them into our basket does it make its way into our homes, where it may sit in our pantry’s for hours, days, or maybe even weeks before it makes its way on to our plates and into our bodies for fuel … let’s now take the Word and use that same analogy … how long do we let it sit before prepping it and allowing it to be used in our daily lives ??? and, just like the food at your favorite store, just because you’ve picked it up a few weeks ago doesn’t mean that you’re good to go now, i’ll bet that your soul is just as ready for a new meal just as much as your belly is 😊 …. at least mine is !!! something that i like to do is to listen to the Bible all the way thru at least every other year in addition to my “normal” studying and devotions … this would be when i’m walking, riding, shopping, you know, doing anything that i would normally be listening to the radio or podcasts doing …. It takes a few weeks to get thru, and each time there’s always new insights and gems that come from it because He always knows where I’m at and, just like a good chef, knows just what to put on the menu … enjoy your day and your meals !!!!
