Never Tired

A favorite breakfast dish here is a "breakfast bowl" - grits, sausage, egg.  I asked Mister Bill if he had grown tired of this option; here's how that conversation went: (Him) "No, just mac'n cheese (Me) You don't eat mac'n cheese - how can you grow tired of it? (Him) I did in 1978. Unlike that conversation, the deterioration of this nation didn't happen quickly - it was a gradual and unsuspecting process caused by a growing tired of God's Word. There was a period in our early history when The Bible was actually used to teach academics as well as of how to love God and one another and live at peace with both. Now, it seems there's often of troubles when The Bible is even brought into the school building. As we all grow tired of lawlessness throughout society, let's not forget what we [as a nation] grew tired of first: God's words that lead to peace and happiness. "Bind them continually upon your heart (in your thoughts), and tie them around your neck. When you walk about they (the Godly teachings) will guide you; when you sleep, they will keep watch over you; and when you awake, they will talk to you. For the commandment is a lamp and the teaching is light." (Proverbs 6:21-23). Yes, the deterioration of hearts began with a tiring of what is good, holy and honorable before God and among men. I doubt Mister Bill's tiring for mac'n cheese is gonna change but certainly each one of us can return-to (or begin) to love what God has said to us in His Word. May we never grow tired of His words!
