He's been asking for something, something personal. Oh it's foolish.
When I was a child, I dreaded the words, "...because I said so". I cringed whenever my parents uttered them.
Now that I am older I demand logic, reasoning, and understanding. Intelligence.
When the pulling came, I reasoned with it. When questions came, I created logic. Trying to make intelligence out of foolishness, I compromised.
He keeps pulling. He keeps asking.
He is asking of my diet.
I understand it, but I don't.
It seems like something so personal and inconsequential could be and should be mine and mine alone.
But He wants it.
He wants it all, and wants me to give my all.
He knows my heart. He knows what I treasure. It's not money. It's not grandeur. It's not fame.
It's food. Yes, it's foolish.
So next time someone asks me, why I eat the way that I will, I can only say, "...because He told me so." It's not for any other reason. It's for obedience.
This is what God is asking of my life. Perhaps not yours, but mine.
I suppose Sampson also thought it was foolish.
Lord, please help me to obey. You can have it all.
