Hmmm...here is a thought....

Why spend your money on food that does not give you strength (Isa. 55:2)

Because we foolishly spend money of stuff that doesn't fulfill the soul.

I've never thought about that! I always want to buy more and more junk food, and it doesn't give me energy, it makes me gain weight, and loose control of my better eating habits. It doesn't say on the box "Will run down body, will make you gain a zillion pounds if eaten everyday" it says "NEW!" or "Better Tasting" or you watch the commercials and they are all fun, skippy, having fun eating the most fattening thing on the planet. But I have the hardest time on eating healthier, I will do really really good for a couple weeks, then fall flat on my face. But this time I really want to take if for what it is. This food that runs down my body, isn't good on the soul, and you waste money. I will say no to the cardboard box that doesn't make my body feel as good as I want it to!!

SO TRUE!
I love the stuff in boxes, but the things in God's packaging are a little better for my heart and soul.

I will volunteer to be the friend that takes the bad things out of your hands as long as you promise to then take them out of mine!

it's just so easy to do. we say with our lips that only God can fulfill us, yet our minds still think we need the stuff to feel good. very good thoughts.
