As I savored what was left of my ice cream last night (by the way if you haven't tried Graeter's Black Raspberry Chip you have to get to Kroger this instant) I was reminded of something I read a few years ago. In Blue Like Jazz by Donald Miller, Donald is having a conversation with a friend about reading the bible and his friend says "The Bible is so good with chocolate. I always thought the Bible was more of a salad thing, you know, but it isn't. It is a chocolate thing." It made me think, do I crave God's word like I crave chocolate? Or do I read His word because I know I should? Just like I know I should eat a salad, even though I'd much rather have ice cream for lunch. My prayer for us all is that Psalm 119 would become the cry of our hearts!
Amen! Ezekiel 3:3 says, "And he said to me, “Son of man, feed your belly with this scroll that I give you and fill your stomach with it.” Then I ate it, and it was in my mouth as sweet as honey." There are other verses that talk about this. Who else wants to share one?
ReplyDeleteOh April... I love this. I hope you know after reading it I went to Kroger, bought some and sat down and prayed :)
