Just eat some life
Believe it or not, this box of cereal was what God used to
speak to me this morning. As a parent,
He speaks to me a lot through our two boys, Colton and Carson. This particular morning, Colton was asking
for “cecil” which is cereal so I pulled out all the options. Ya wanna know which one He chose? He chose life. Our two year old has it down more than His
daddy (me).
It’s interesting to me that as an adult, when bad things
happen, we say things like “thats just life man.” We have been so distorted in our thinking
that we simply answer away a problem with a phrase that isn’t even true. That’s just life!? What a backwards
statement. Life is good. It’s fresh.
It’s pure. It’s lovely.
I love that given all the options, Colton chose life. You and I are the same way. Everyday we have a plate “full of options”
and it’s our choice what we eat. Psalms
23:5 says it perfect in the NLT. It
says:
You prepare a feast for me in the presence of my enemies.
There is a table that has been prepared just for you
everyday of your life. It is full of
truth, love, righteousness, joy, peace, goodness, long suffering and so
on! Your day just like mine will be
filled with all the options but I want to encourage you today to be like a
child and choose life.
Have you ever noticed how kids are so full of life!? Like after 5 minutes of watching them, you
are exhausted because they just keep going and going ha ha!! Never wanting to stop or quit!
If you have found yourself in a stagnant state of life, come
to the table that has been prepared for you in the presence of all the chaos
going on in your life. Receive what He
has to freely give you. It’s His
promises and faithfulness. He will give
you everything you will need to be like that child and keep going even in the
hard times!
These will help you out:
Psalms 23
Psalms 37
Proverbs 3
Ephesians 2
Romans 8
These are all chapters in Gods word that are FULL of
life! His whole word is full of Life,
but here are some places to start!
