I John 2:15 "Love not the world, neither the things that are in theworld.…"
I can recall the numerous as a child that when we would say "I love that song/show/et..." My mom would be quick to say "You don't love it, you like it. You don't love anything that doesn't love you back". Well, that momism came rushing back to me the other day when I made the statement "I love {food}". It hit me like a ton of bricks. God used that phrase, the one I always rolled my eyes at, to speak to my heart.
I say I love a food almost as much as I say I love Todd!!! How sad?! It really convicted me and caused me to reevaluate my thoughts and desires. What do I love and in what order?
If I'm being honest, most of the time I would say its Todd, food, God. That's shameful and embarrassing! Proper place is God, Todd, others, service, etc… Food shouldn't even be on the radar.
Food has one job, to give me nourishment. That's it! It's not supposed to fill me emotionally, it's not needed to kill time. Food is not my comforter, God is!
So, thank you, Lord (and Momma) for reminding me to keep my priorities straight.
