Julie & I just returned from a week at Disney in which we celebrated 25 years of marriage. We had such a blessed time meeting Disney characters, riding the rides, taking in the shows, and enjoying the meal plan. This meal plan was basically all you could eat. I have to admit, I ate like Dumbo – each day I fell to the sin of gluttony. I like all-you-can-eat places because you usually leave full. I was reminded that each day I have an opportunity to “become full” – not with food, but with the Spirit. Each day I have an opportunity to partake of “solid food” (Hebrews 5:14) – the teachings from the Word of God. Everyday God puts before me the opportunity to get my fill of spiritual things. These days I am learning to put the fork down faster, go to my knees more often, and stay in the Word longer.
Just want to remind you all that Christians need other Christians – for accountability, encouragement, and fellowship. If you are not in a Life Group (Sunday School or Small Group) here at First Baptist, I encourage you to go to the Hospitality Suite and inquire as to how you can get plugged in. I truly believe the best place here at First Baptist to grow as a disciple is in a Life Group.
