Philip. 3:19 (NIV) Their destiny is destruction, their god is their stomach, and their glory is in their shame. Their mind is on earthly things.
I think a lot about food. It’s almost as if sometimes I’m afraid that I’ll starve. When Mary and I get in the car to drive around town on my day off, I usually slow us down because I’m gathering food for the trip. I want some chocolate to go with my coffee. And maybe an apple and banana in case I get hungry. Also, a bag of pecans, because I love pecans and maybe I’ll get hungry and need to eat them. And one more thing, I’ll jam some leftover cake into a Rubbermaid container – in case the chocolate isn’t enough for my coffee.
Finally, I get to the car. All this for a trip to Meijer!
“Today, may I joyfully declare war on the ‘stomach-god’ who seeks to rule. I’m reminded that my fulfillment is not in being filled temporarily – but in being fulfilled eternally. Today, I refocus on the ONE who can fill me. I will seek His will and His ways – and take glory in God’s goodness!”
