Meal or Munchies

Mr. Bill is the Munch King at our house.  He does like a good meal but he loves him some munchies: cookies, grapes, cashews, popcorn.  Some nights, it’s a full-course munch-meal!

 

Spurgeon asks and answers, “Where lies the secret strength of faith?  It lies in the food it feeds on.”  If we really ARE what we eat, I suspect many of us are in deep trouble.   No wonder so many Christians are spiritually malnourished with regard to what competes for our time in God’s Word – television, cell phones, video games, books, magazines, shopping, sleeping.  Busy usually overcomes us as we choose the urgent rather than the prudent. Pastor Tony reminded his congregation often that good is the worst enemy of best – God’s Best!  Pastor Tim reminds us just a little talk with Jesus isn’t enough!  Why is it we’re content with and settle for casual bits and pieces of time with God in study, prayer, worship,  dodging the table of healthy and satisfying proportions of Truth to strength and sustain.  Mr. Bill’s evening munch-meal is a serious matter!  Oh, that we take spiritual growth and nourishment seriously, lingering at Christ’s Table in God’s Presence every opportunity.  It really is a choice of meals or munchies.
