Good afternoon to everyone. Grace and Peace be with you.
It is not often that I get the urge to post twice a day. At least not in this format; however, today, as I was listening to Proverbs, something caught my ear and my attention. Chapter 25, verses 21 and 22:
If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat; if he is thirsty, give him water to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head, and the Lord will reward you.
I need you to step out of your box and the verbatim reading of this verse. Stick with me for a minute; I think you will be just as amazed as I was.
What if the food and drink were not about physical food or drink, or even spiritual food or drink? What if it were common courtesy food and drink? Trust food and drink? Love food and drink? What if it were forgiveness food and drink?
The enemy has so intertwined with eye for an eye that we forget the part about seven times seventy. The enemy has us so focused on similarities that we cannot see past them and assume the worst. The enemy is very good at using logic to make our decisions seem right and just, but what if we stepped out of that box and built a new one?
If we were to truly build a new box of trust, love, and forgiveness … regardless of possible probabilities … the enemy would lose his grip on us, thus causing burning coals to be poured onto his head, burning off those chains. Heavenly heated coals with Jesus' power to break the chains of doubt and fear … what if?
Imagine, if you can, the high-five we could receive in heaven if we could feed those who have wronged us in this manner. Imagine the chains that could be broken on them if we followed this line of thinking. Imagine the victory that would come from this serving of refreshments in our daily lives.
Something to think about as you go about the rest of your day and evening. Food for the soul is not always food in the physical.
Be blessed.
**The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Here is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and “sinners”.’ But wisdom is proved right by her actions. – Matthew 11:19
