last night cindy came into the living room after feeding natalie. she looked at me and said "i think natalie just eats to take the edge off of her hunger. she never eats to get really full."
as soon as she said that it rocked both of us, and made us both think the same thing....
how many times do i do that to God?
when i chose to follow Jesus i received the fullness of Him. i have the chance to ask for his power and the full measure of his greatness every single day... but i rarely do it.
we all do the same thing.
we pray to get by.
we read scripture and walk away, never realizing that God wrote what we just read. God. the creator of Jupiter. the creator of the Pacific ocean. the creator of every star we've ever and never seen and every galaxy we could never wrap our minds around. God.
i don't want to just take the edge off. i want the full measure of Jesus every single second of every single day.
the kingdom of God is characterized by the power that it holds, not by weakness.
for the kingdom of God is not a matter of talk but of power. 1 Corinthians 4:20

thids was a great post. way to take an everyday occurance that we all have in common... and remind us that God is in that moment as well.
I need to learn how to eat till I am full as well. Thanks.
