Bring on the Reeses!
It was a Fast day today, when I skip breakfast and lunch in favor of a couple of nuts (to keep away nausea from meds) and V-8s, and focus on specific petitions and my love for God. It was ALSO Muffin Monday, the first Monday of every month when I bring Costco muffins into the office. By the end of the day the muffins were mostly gone except for about 2 and 1/2. I gathered them up and put them in a bag to take home. I sat it on my desk. In front of me. It smelled realllllly good. Thankfully, I had made a cheat post-it on James 1. "Temptation--->my lust"; short for "But each one is tempted when he is carried away and enticed by his own lust." James 1:14. In the Greek interlinear, the word is desire. Still, you get the idea. As silly as it may sound, that "Temptation--->lust" staring at me on a flourescent green post it is just what I needed. Isn't it silly? I knew I was fasting, yet here I was drooling and thinking of finishing my fast early to dive into the muffins. I had predetermined to keep my fast until I got home--but it wouldn't be that bad, would it? The only thing keeping me from eating those muffins wasn't my will of steel, but my scribble of scripture on a post it. So, does God view these silly little things as insignificant? Luke 16:10 says “One who is faithful in a very little is also faithful in much..." Well! Bring on the Reeses!
