What did you eat for breakfast today? what about yesterday? What about 3 days ago… if you known and you can answer for all 3 days you probably are eating the same thing and its probably not very good for you. 

 

If… and I say IF breakfast is the most important meal of the day.. why do we eat piles of outdated highly sugared cardboard substituted Quote unquote wheat based or grain based garbage. 

 

In the united states there are over 2.7 billion boxes of cereal eaten a year. and over a 1000 different varieties…

including warm cereals like oatmeal, grits, cornmeal and porridge… porridge? Really… when was the last time you had porridge… ME? never. Does cold pizza count as breakfast? probably not. 

We spend over 11 Billion dollars on cereal a year… 

The average person eats 3 pounds of sugar a year just in cereal…

and who eats the most cereal? Why our kids of course… because kids of all people deserve to be started off in life with garbage carbohydrates and volumous amounts of sugar and a get in free to the dentist card. 

 

You say Garth where is this going? I don’t know… well actually the point is this. We all have our habits for breakfast… and typically our worst eating habits are our first meal of the day.

 

So my question to you is “what do you feed your spirit first in the day?”

I can tell you right now, for many its not much better than what we feed our physical bodies in the mornings.  

 

We feed it what tastes good. News, music, a podcast (except mine of course) but seriously think about this… when you eat a good healthy breakfast- lets say 2 eggs, bacon, some oatmeal and a glass of grapefruit juice… once your done with that you don’t typically crave cereal. No one says, great breakfast but what was missing was frosted flakes I hear theeeerrreeee great. 

 

How much of our human inner appetites would starve if we had a solid daily spiritual meal in the morning. You don’t have to eat a lot but you should eat regularly. You should eat a balanced spiritual diet of Gods word, prayer and praise. 

And when you read scripture actually read the bible and not just a devotional. I love devotionals, I have quite a few myself, but it is the crunch berry of my spiritual food. What do I mean? Crunchberries do not have any berries actually in them. Just some strawberry syrup. A devotional is just the syrup… the bible is the meat and potatoes… and is there any better breakfast than steak and potatoes? or hash browns… 

 

Mark 1:35

Verse Concepts

In the early morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house, and went away to a secluded place, and was praying there.

 

Psalm 5:3

Verse Concepts

In the morning, O Lord, You will hear my voice;

In the morning I will order my prayer to You and eagerly watch.

 

Psalm 63:1-5  O God, You are my God; early will I seek You; my soul thirsts for You,  my flesh faints for You, in a dry and thirsty land with no water.

2 I have seen You in the sanctuary, to see Your power and Your glory. 3 Because Your loving kindness is better than life, my lips will praise You. 

4 Thus will I bless You while I live; I will lift up my hands in Your name. 5 My soul will be satisfied as with marrow and fatness, and my mouth will praise You with joyful lips.

There is something about seeking God's presence early in the stillness of the morning. That is the time when our minds and hearts are the clearest.
