Meal or Munchies

Mister Bill is the Munch King here! He likes a good meal, of course, but he loves-him some munchies; some nights it’s a full-course munch-meal! Charles H. Spurgeon writes, “Where lies the secret strength of faith? It lies in the food it feeds on.” This great truth makes me suspect many of us are in deep trouble. No wonder so many Believers are spiritually malnourished because of a skimpy diet of God’s Word; television, cell phones, video games, books, magazines, shopping, sleeping, etc. are more our meal-plan. Busy usually overcomes us as we choose the urgent rather than the prudent. Why is it we choose to settle for casual bits-and-pieces here-and-there of God’s Word, ever dodging the table of His rich and satisfying Truth to strength and sustain. A few hours before bedtime, Mister Bill gets in serious munch-mode; oh, that Believers take spiritual growth seriously, lingering at Christ’s Table of Truth at every opportunity. The choice comes down to this: meals or munchies.
