Breakfast For Your Soul

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. [Hebrews 11:1]

My pastor often tells a story, about his two daughters when they were little.  He could tell them before Sunday morning service, that he was going to take them to 7-Eleven for Slurpee’s after church.  Angel was about 4, Genesis was about 2 or 3.  They would begin to dance and sing, “We’re going to the Slurpee store!.. We’re going get Slurpee’s!! “.  Angel would come up to me and say,“Ms. Regina, my daddy gonna buy me a Slurpee!” They were excited…for something that had not even happened.  Why?… because their daddy promised it to them, and they had faith that what daddy said… daddy would do… hmmmm…. the same is even more true for our Heavenly Daddy.  See, what those precious babies did not know, was that their family was struggling financially.  There was much going on.  The trip to the “Slurpee” store was a sacrifice, that could be cancelled, if it came a choice between gas to get home, and their Slurpee’s.  Our Heavenly Father is quite different though.  As a matter of fact, “the earth is the LORD’s, and the fullness thereof [1 Corinthians 10:26]“…. no danger of God ever being in the position of being “all tapped out”.  He is Creator, and He has promised you a lot more than a Slurpee… but if that’s all you want, He can give you that…. according to your faith (as long as it not something illegal, immoral or un-Godly)…. so be it.  The possibilities are endless. .. every now and then, we need a reminder that Jesus is sweeter than honey in the honeycomb!

Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones. [Proverbs 16:24 ]

….. such good news!
