1 John 2:16- For the world offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and pride in our achievements and possessions. These are not from the Father, but are from this world. (New Living Translation)
Herbert Bowen, Jr.
Voices Against the Grain Devotional Writer
One and done. Satisfied with a pep in the step to go about our day. Joy, immense joy for the happiness we attained bore no consequences. Comfortable, real comfortable in the life we have provided ourselves. Haughty to a degree of narcissism for if everything is about us, how can we appreciate the nuances of anyone else? Hence, who cares! If our appetites are now satiated, then why crave more? Perhaps the reason lies in what we have eaten. In that our stomachs have begun to rumble, our countenances have changed and our bodies are now queasy. With food rising like a geyser, we picture the spew of unsightly material exiting our negatively affected bodies. But God…provided us the Pepto with a piece of Daily Bread to settle our stomachs and keep us from ever feeling sick again. Amen
