{Day 146}

September 23, 2011

We are consumers. Advertisements constantly bombard us to buy this and that. They tell us we won’t be satisfied until we get what they have to offer. Our culture breeds us to want. Stuff. And then more stuff, but we miss out on consuming the one thing that really matters. The one thing that will satisfy us. The ONLY thing that will satisfy us. A relationship with Jesus. We go out to eat and we look in store windows longingly at things yet do we “taste and see that the Lord is good!”? (Psa. 34:8) Our culture tells us if we just have one more thing we will be happy. But it is a lie. Instead let us be consumed with loving the one who is Love. Let’s feast at his table. It won’t disappoint. Thoughts on this? Let us hear it in the comments. 🙂

That’s so true. They make us buy so much stuff. That’s also called having stuff be on sale. 😉

Yes, we need to work on more of the right kind of consuming, and more producing. More consuming of love and wisdom, and more producing of love and light.

I love today’s outfit! Cute and classy!

  I like that, “More consuming of love and wisdom, and more producing of love and light.”

I like how Martin Luther said, “Man only needs Jesus Christ”. How true! Really, if you are seeking first God’s Kingdom, you will not need to worry about what to eat or what to drink or about your clothing (Matthew 6:25-33).

  Yes Jesus takes perfect care of his children. We really only do need him.

I know this shouldn’t be the first thing out of my lips, but LOVE your outfit! Daringly different ;).

And thanks for the inspiring words… our relationship with the ONLY lasting thing is so often the LAST thing on our mind 🙁
