I posted yesterday in Breakfast Down the Hall about how students at my elementary school often drop breakfast items on their way to class. It’s those flimsy cardboard boats everything comes in!
The conclusion was, the Christian life feels like this sometimes; it’s a long walk, and I’m carrying a bunch of stuff, and this flimsy cardboard boat won’t quite hold my “breakfast.”
Gravity gets a say, and so does God. He holds all things together (Col 1:17)—including our lives–through Christ. Jesus knows where the dropping points are and can help us along the way (Heb 2:18).
But what about those fallen breakfast items? Are they replaced?
It’s always an interesting day when we have breakfast pizza—a rather top-heavy entrée. You can literally hear them fall, “Splat!” to the floor. Topping side down, of course. Delicious rectangles of sausage and melted cheese litter the length of the hallway.
More than once, I’ve encountered a five-year-old in distress, “I dropped my pizzaaah!”
“It’s Ok,” I say. “Let’s go back to the cafeteria and tell them what happened. They’ll give you another one.”
“Really??” implores the worried child. “Yes, really. They have lots and lots.”
Kind reader, have you ever gone back to the “cafeteria” with Jesus alongside and asked God for another entree? Even if He’s out of “breakfast pizza,” you get something. Nobody goes hungry in God’s family.
Don’t just take it from me, here’s King David:
I was young and now I am old, yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken or their children begging bread. They are always generous and lend freely; their children will be a blessing.
Psalm 37:25 (NIV)
Will you join me today in a heavenly assignment? Let’s call it “Mission Possible.” Yours, and my, privilege (should we choose to accept it) is to replace someone’s missing “entrée.” It could be food, or something else. Let’s do this!
And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones who is my disciple, truly I tell you, that person will certainly not lose their reward.
Jesus – Matthew 10:42 (NIV)
Thank you for reading. 🙏❤️ prayers and love.
