Snickers Bar Faith

I wrote this two years ago,  but thought it would go nicely with the last two posts.  Come to His Banquet Table, a feast awaits you! 

Snickers Bar Faith

I had only coffee for breakfast,

It got me up and awake.

But what You had for me Lord you say,

Was a Denver omelette and a steak!

For snack I grabbed a granola bar,

"Hey, it could be a worse choice," I wavered.

But You had sweet melons with berries and cheese,

I missed all those mouth-watering flavors.

I skipped over lunch today,

So busy and oh so rushed.

Your Spirit even reminded me;

Why do I feel like slush?

I'll get that Big Snickers bar

Surely the protein will satisfy.

Until I can have some dinner,

But for now, I just gotta fly.

I hit the mattress, close my eyes,

And start to unwind and pray.

But somehow I feel I missed

A delicious banquet on your menu today.

My Spirit is a rumbling...

And in my attitude it will show;

If I do not sit at your feet Lord

and take in sustenance to grow.

Just bits and bites of Snickers bars

Might get me through a day.

But in reality I am really famished, Lord;

...And it makes it hard to pray.

So, awake to His plate of Fullness;

Take in his fresh Truth in Word,

Smell the aromas of His promises

In quiet time, discipline and observe...

Every day we need a balance

To maintain a Spirit divine.

And savour every course He offers you,

There are unlimited refills, and no long line.

Psalm 34:8

O taste and see that the Lord is good;

Blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him!

I Peter 2:2-3

...like newborn babes long for the pure milk of the Word, that by it you may grow in respect to salvation, if you have tasted the kindness of the Lord.
