Gospel meetings are a tremendous opportunity for the growth of your soul, and unfortunately at the same time, the growth of your girth. Having two buffet meals every day for lunch and dinner, complete with those tasty desserts, makes it hard to
resist going just a little overboard.
What if you could have two buffets every day for the rest of your life? How long would it be until you were just “busting out all over”? What if the food was always fresh and you were always finding new things that you liked? You know that you wouldn’t be able to resist two buffets every day. You know that you wouldn’t be able to resist going back for seconds.
Think about this with a spiritual application. Do you realize that you have a buffet open to you (for spiritual nourishment) every day? “How sweet are Your words to my taste, Sweeter than honey to my mouth!” (Psa. 119:103). Your Bible has it all–appetizers, main courses, milk, meat, desserts, etc. It can keep you feasting for days and days and days. What if you viewed your Bible as a buffet to enjoy twice a day? Could you resist it? How much could you grow?
