Breakfast is Ready

So when they got out on the land, they saw a charcoal fire already laid and fish placed on it, and bread. John 21:9  

Jesus fixed those fishermen breakfast—grilled fish and toast. Sounds good! A lakeside feast with the Savior—what could be better? Perhaps only a heavenly feast—that banquet that we’ll all attend one day when Jesus calls us home. Right then that breakfast probably looked really good—and smell wonderful. They were hungry after fishing all night. So what did you have for breakfast this morning?  I’m a breakfast eater—I love breakfast, although I may be awake for a couple of hours before I eat. Today I started with a fresh squeezed lemon juice and cayenne pepper drink. Then I had a slice of zucchini – carrot bread, almonds, some fresh sliced honeydew melon and Greek yogurt. I ate outside on the deck—it was wonderful. No breeze off the Sea of Galilee like those disciples likely had with Jesus—but it was a very pleasant way to start my day.  

Spiritually, what did you have for “breakfast?” My son, Mike, told me once that he doesn’t feed his body without feeding his spirit first. Wow—what did I ever do to get such a wise son?  So—I “fed” on Psalm 139 today and am in awe of God that He cares so much for each of us. There is no where we can go that He isn’t already there…and He cares about us to have created us with such intricate bodies. He is awesome and worthy of our praise. Consider His works and His ways today. 

RSVP:  Jesus was there providing a great breakfast for His fishermen disciples. He is with us…and providing for us, too. How will you respond to Him today for all that He does for you? 

Prayer ~ Jesus, I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; wonderful are Your works, and my soul knows it very well. ... How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How vast is the sum of them! Psalms 139:14, 17.
