I quit reading that stuff too. For awhile, I was "hungry" after them...
After reading the Internet for so long nothing surprises me any more.
I see this type of info (no offense, please, it's not your fault; just a sign of the times!

like the little scroll in the Book of Revelation that the angel gives John to eat;
at first it tastes as sweet as honey (entertaining, new...)
then it is bitter in the stomach (while you are DIGESTING it!)
digesting... as in "getting the essentials out of it", which reminds me of the famous collection "READERS'... DIGEST!)

toooooooooooooo funny................ and so true...................
As we go in circles: it's what we crave and what we have no desire for.......
Just like the physical food we eat.............. I may be on a turkey kick and just can't get enough of it.......... and then forget it........... who wants that.
Where is the pizza!
Also Soul Food................ the scriptures we may seek out often have a uniqueness as to where we are in our lives at that moment........
For example when im down..................... I relate to Job.......... and his sorrows.
Job2:13 So they sat down with him upon the ground seven days and seven nights, and none spake a word unto him: for they saw that his grief was very great.
I love his story when I am low............. I relate....I find comfort in knowing another suffered agony too.....hence im not alone in this place.
As the circle turns.................. when I am high and all is well in my walk and with my soul................. I have a vexation to Jobs story and I will pass it over...as a source of relating to........... I don't want to hear it....It's low .
I can't feel it today.... I would turn my back and run from anything low If at all possible............ at times, and thats a big IF.
I simply want to enjoy the place that I have been blessed to arrive at and it feels good ................ as well as it is so necessary for the well being ones mind ...
body and soul.
A little time out of the dumps is good.
A great high story is : And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever.
The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.
And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the Lord caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided. And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground: and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.
What we desire ,,,, where we are at.... what we need... what we do........
These attributes make up us,,,,,,,,,,, today.
Tomorrow will be different..................... as the circle turns...........
What we desire ,,,, where we are at.... what we need... what we do........
Changes again............. and it's how we are motivated to move.
These are the tools God uses to do his work within us.......
He is constantly changing us........... he remolds us and fills us with new things.
God puts the desire in our hearts................. and the circle turns again.
I do hope im not boring you this afternoon....
To think I derived to this simply because you said............I quit reading that stuff too. For awhile, I was "hungry" after them... at first it tastes as sweet as honey then it is bitter in the stomach................................
ok readers digest...................... it's a coffee break for me here............
God Bless
