Greetings Dear Reader,
For a brief period in my younger life, I was fit, strong,
and worked hard to be that way. Then due
to choices and circumstances, The imbalance left me pursuing food and not
considering that I was leaving out part of my pursuit of Christ in the effort.
I gained much weight and was quite unhealthy.
In later years I determined to become more vigilant over
what I sought and why I sought it. The
why of it was difficult and still challenges me. The weight loss was significant and I learned
the value of enjoying good food without over-indulging. I also put things in perspective as to what
is genuinely satisfying when it comes to eating.
Having recently been in the situation where my lack of resources
required me to meter food consumption carefully, I have developed a better aspect
of this. When it comes to food, I think
the need for fat souls is greater than we realize. The problem we fail to address is gratitude
for what we have.
We pursue more experiences or become slaves to eating or not
eating. The aspect is supposed to be
gratitude for what we are given by the Father.
Instead, we chase after food or misuse it. We love the food and not faithful following as
our priority. Then we wonder why we are
dissatisfied with what we have obtained.
This is just what the Father is getting at in Psalm 106 when he sends leanness
to their souls
In every interaction about food, Jesus reminds us to depend
on the Father to provide and to be thankful.
We are to seek the Father and allow him to provide for our needs. That is what fattens our souls Dear Reader. When we pursue the food, we will always hunger
for closeness to Christ. When we follow
Christ, he promises that we will never lack anything that we need.
Wishing you joy in the journey,
Aramis Thorn

writer who has become a disciple of Christ’s rule of the universe is like a
homeowner. He liberally hands out new and old things from his great treasure
store.”
