Everything All the Time
Sounds great, doesn’t it?
The great Classic Rock Band, “The Eagle’s” penned these
words.
“Everything all the time, will surely make you lose your
mind.”
Our fascination with more and more is a symptom of our human
condition.
We want more, and more, and more, (at least, I do.) (One
chocolate chip leads to another and another and…)
It takes a wake up call to remind us, that “everything all
the time will surely make you lose your mind”, your health, your relationships,
your job and just about everything else that matters.
To counter the “everything all the time” mindset is to take
a road less traveled.
The biblical answer to “everything all the time” is fasting.
There are heart fasts such as fasting envy. There are food fasts such as fasting
chocolate. There are drink fasts, such as
fasting beer. There is bodily appetite
fasting such as desserts. Fasting is
simple saying no to someone or something for a finite period. The result is a finding of your mind, health,
and relationships. Fasting helps you
find yourself. (It is easy to get lost
in the shuffle of “everything all the time”.)
I wrote a short book on fasting, and it is available only on
Kindle. May you find yourself as you
give desires up to the Lord.
