Breaking Bread

I turn on the television, turn on the radio, fire up the Internet, realize that we are confused in today’s society.

It’s one thing to be fans of public figures, but it has become a common thing to idolize, and praise people that are popular in today’s entertainment world.

We are adamant followers of Hip Hop artist Jay-Z and his wife R&B sensation Beyonce.

We indulge in keeping up with the Kardashian family; watching their every move.

We all are guilty of some form of this no matter what it may be.

It’s ok to be a fan and a supporter of people in entertainment, but it is another thing to forget that these people are humans too.

They bleed, they cry, they sin — no one is perfect. If asked, I’m sure many of us would say yes to taking the time out to break bread with our favorite entertainer.

Would we wash the feet of Jesus, cook for him, and open our homes for Him?

I know that we would be hospitable to our favorite entertainers without thinking twice.

Does the thought of Jesus spark us to do the same?

These are some serious questions that I believe we should all reflect on.

It is one thing to just say yes and another to really mean it.

Sure, God isn’t a rap artist worth millions of dollars.

No, He doesn’t take the form of an attractive female performer with sex appeal.

God is more.

He is the almighty, all knowing, and an all-powerful God.

These reasons are enough for me to want to break bread with God.

We can’t welcome famous guests with open arms and not acknowledge Gods presence.

God should be the guest of all guests; people on posters in our bedrooms, and office spaces shouldn’t have the right to take His place.

We have to wake up, people, and know that God is all around us. Until we realize this we will keep missing His calls, Its time to break bread with Him.

One for the week: Exodus 25:30 - Put the bread of the Presence on this table to be before me at all times.
