One who is full loathes honey from the comb, but to the hungry even what is bitter tastes sweet. - Proverbs 27:7
Today was one of those days. Lunch time came around and my stomach told me it was hungry, but nothing sounded good. I held off for as long as I could but then had to make a decision. Generally I end up at one of my “go to” spots. More often than not, I end up eating far more than I need. Today as I attempted to eat just enough to get me through the afternoon, I was struck by the fact that my “problem” was really a blessing. How many people in the world don’t have food today? How many of those that do have food have a choice of what they eat? Whatever problems I may have, I don’t have to worry about basic necessities. How often do I envy what others have rather than recognizing what great blessing I have? I have decided that from now on, when I experience this “dilemma,” I’m going to thank God and buy a meal for someone who is hungry. This is my conviction and confession today. I hope it convicts and blesses you.
