Verse Reflections: God repeats “listen, listen”. He is trying to get our attention, to let us know that this is important. If we eat what is good, we will delight in the “richest of fare”. We will know the richness that God wants for us in His kingdom, this is not referring to foods here on earth. We will know health, we will know peace, we will know a relationship with God that is not harmed by our unhealthy choices, our guilt from abusing our bodies. Then He goes further and says again, “listen” … that you may live. He wants us to have long lives, he wants us to live fully. When we eat too much of the wrong foods it affects our bodies. We wear out our pancreas with too much sugar, we wear out our liver with too much alcohol, we add fat that puts serious stress on our joints and sometimes even our body organs. We cannot “live” a long life when we make those choice. God wants us to live here on earth and to experience the richest of fare in His kingdom.
Prayer: God, I am reminded of the funny Youtube video with the cute little boy saying “Listen Linda Listen” when I read Your “listen listen”. You are stopping us with this verse. You are reminding me that this goes beyond me, beyond my clothes not fitting. You want us to eat what is good so that we can enjoy the richness of Your kingdom. Help me today to reach out for the richness of Your kingdom, not the richness of foods. Allow me to listen to You. I know your commands to “eat what is good” is for my health that I may live. This is a great verse for me today. Help me to weave it into my lifestyle. Help me to crave the foods that are good today and every day. I will try to listen to You today. I know that means I have to turn off the noise so I can really hear You. Hope You have a wonderful day today. Thanks for being a part of mine.
