A few weeks ago Breah did something that she had never done before. She took her food, and instead of diligently eating it like she always had, she decided to throw it over the edge of her highchair. I patiently grabbed the piece of food, turned around, and went to throw it away. When I turned back around, I saw yet ANOTHER piece of food on the ground. Breah continued to repeatedly throw food off the side of her chair, thinking it to be hilarious. I finally looked her in the eye and asked her:
“Are you eating, or are you playing?”
It’s funny, because I think our God asks us the same question time after time again. In John 6:35 Jesus calls Himself “the bread of life.” The answer is right before us – everlasting life, joy, peace, goodness, it’s all right there for the taking.
Are you eating of the bread of life, or are you just passing time away and playing around?
