Daily Chocolate Cake Compote

I was tempted greatly the other day by a wonderful moist piece of warm cake filled with hot fudge and topped with ice cream.  That cursed dessert called out to me from the pit to indulge and eat.  Well now, not eating dessert isn’t quite in the 10 commandments, so I caved.  I’m an easy target.  But Jesus, after not eating for forty days was approached by Satan.  Satan tempted Jesus to turn some rocks into bread and eat them.  Jesus response was this “man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.”  Yes, God’s word is what gives us life.  Not the same life we get from chocolate cake, or even rock bread, instead it is life that lasts eternally.  It’s real life.  You can be ALIVE.  Hope, joy peace, patience, love; these things come from God’s bread.  And like we eat every day, we need God’s bread every single day, not just on Sundays.  The bible promises you a life that is full of light, that the mere meditation on God’s word will cause everything you touch to prosper.  Are we reading the bible enough?  Are we getting that bread?  Make it interesting for yourself, do searches for words and studies.  Set aside a time for God.  Grey’s Anatomy is not going to add anything to your life, and it may get a whole hour.  God’s word has so much more for you.  Take notes on what you are learning.  Really eat it.  Chew it up.  What do you want to learn about?  Now stop listening to this and go read.
