I bet this isn’t the first thing you think of when considering what sort of delicious breakfast to consume each morning:
PLAIN OATMEAL.
As part of my answer to prayer for God to “Purge myself of me” has called me to fast from some things. One of these things is sugar or any other sweetners. So, this morning I prepared a bowl of oatmeal. Just oatmeal. No sugar. No honey. No milk. No anything but oats in water. No comparison to Lucky Charms or Coco Pebbles eh?
And so I waited for the oats to soak in the hot water and then took a bite. To my surprise it was DELICIOUS. I’m not kidding. As I continued to eat my bowl of plain oatmeal, and genuinely enjoy it God revealed something to me. He said, “When you subtract what you THINK is good (in this case sugar) you can enjoy how it was naturally made good.” Wow.
That is exactly what I am asking God to do in me. Take away what I think is good, to reveal how I was naturally made good. Genius.
