When i had the tumor and a couple of organs start talkin’ to one another a few years ago i went 4 months at one point without havin’ any actual “food” go down my pie hole !!! I’ve definitely made up for it since, and, it’s amazing what modern science and the body can do to to bounce back, but, make no bones about it … The number one reason that this guy is on this side of the grass is because of the Great Physician and His Manna … Everyone involved in my healing journey believes that !!!
But now that i can eat, i do and that got me thinkin’ about how our food choices can be a lot like different ways to feed our souls (and, NO, i’m not talking about junk food!) … Stick with me here …
You see, sometimes we’re in the need for a quick pick me up … An energy bar or healthy snack between meals … That’s like a prepared online devotional or listening to a podcast or christian radio station to lift up your spirit !!!
How about when you want to go all out and prepare a meal from scratch … Mmm … Bacon and eggs with biscuits for breakfast is awesome !!! Reminds me a lot like making your way to your corporate worship service and participating in the service, sunday school, and fellowship hour!!!!
And sometimes you’re running a bit behind and just don’t have time to make the full meal from scratch but definitely don’t want your family livin’ on take out, there’s the pre-prepped meals in your freezer … Many churches understand that life happens and have an online option nowadays allowing you to find a virtual faith family to worship with …
Finally, throughout the day you may get a little worn down and just need that little “jolt” to keep you going through the next call or next task on your to – do list … Ahhh … Coffee … As for our soul food equivalent we have what i like to call “micro-prayers” 🙂 … 20 second to 2 minute prayers … Conversations with your Creator about … Anything … I’ve thanked Him for the weather, asked Him for patience, thanked Him for being Him … (if you’ve never done this, try it … It’s AMAZING how much this lifts your spirits!!!)
Anyhoo, if you’ll excuse me, it’s time feeding time … You guess which 🙂
(ps … with the bible verses, one is an appetizer and one is definitely a full course meal!)
