Me: Prodigal, that is a good meal right now and is making my mouth water!
Prodigal: I have been enjoying it very much!
Me: While you enjoy that good food then I will share with you from the book Guide to Spiritual Warfare by E.M. Bounds
It is man living for bread alone that makes the temporal become priority. The secular and worldly take on supreme importance. Faith becomes secondary-subservient to money and business. The heavenly is used for the earthly, the spiritual for the natural. We become more intent on daily food than on daily grace, eyeing the seen more than the unseen.
Of course we need food to eat and we need to make sure we work to have food on the table. This is talking though about how work and money can become a priority over what God’s direction has over your life. What is more important making sure to praise God for his grace or you praise God for your food. One is focused on what he can give you physically which is temporary and one if focused on what he can give you spiritual which is everlasting. As I have been praying God is still confirming the promise He has been leading me too. I am still focused on the spiritual and not what is in the physical.
Acts 20:32 And now I commend you to God and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up and to give you the inheritance among all those who are sanctified.
