Peace And Quiet Over Beans On Toast

Wisdom keeps saying it’s not about what we have materially but what we have inside that makes the difference. Seriously, consider what it would be to have the money, the cars, the homes, the sex – everything and yet still deal with tension and unease from without and within. Contrast that with someone content with the simpler things in life – no fine wine, more diluted Ribena, no nouveau cuisine, more beans on toast. With that though, there is love, joy and peace just because there is life found not in the things that we have, but the good relationships we have.

A dry crust of bread eaten in peace and quiet is better than a feast eaten where everyone argues. (Proverbs 17:1)

Slap Up Meal For Wise Living

There’s nothing like a good meal with friends to create a good atmosphere for sharing the issues of life in a relaxed setting. The food is not just the meat, potatoes, vegetables and salad. The drink is not just the vintage selection from the cellar. With some of life’s deep insights and joyful and sobering experiences there is plenty of food for thought and life-giving water to sooth the soul. Invite someone over to your place for that chance to feast on the food of life.

"Are you confused about life, don't know what's going on? Come with me, oh come, have dinner with me! I've prepared a wonderful spread--fresh-baked bread, roast lamb, carefully selected wines. Leave your impoverished confusion and live! Walk up the street to a life with meaning." (Proverbs 9:4-6)

Food For The Journey

There’s no point on going on any kind of journey without ensuring that you’re well fed. Going anywhere on an empty stomach is a recipe for disaster. The beauty of sharing with others is that sometimes the most fulfilling thing isn’t the food that you eat but the company you keep. Indeed nothing can be more rewarding than life-enhancing relationships and encounters with others. Let today be a day where you can rub your tummy in satisfaction of a job well done by relationships being built for the better on this journey of life.

Jesus said, "The food that keeps me going is that I do the will of the One who sent me, finishing the work he started. (John 4:34)
