Given the choice between a bowl of vegetables and a bowl of hot, golden crispy chips which would you choose? It's a no brainer. Chips win over vegies every time; just try this experiment with kids. We choose chips over vegies because they taste soooo good. We don’t feel like eating the good things. Some foods like chips, chocolate and ice cream just make us feel good.

Spiritually, God is as attractive as a bowl of vegies.

Life for many people focuses nearly entirely on the material world: their work, their homes, their family, their friends, their wealth and their own happiness. These things are not wrong or bad but if that’s all there is, it points to a dangerous imbalance. We are both physical and spiritual creatures and we are designed to be connected to God spiritually (see www.godsgap.net/peoplearelikefish). Trying to satisfy your spiritual needs by consuming products, services and even people is like eating chips all the time.  It just won’t work.

Let me challenge you to consider eating spiritual vegies by looking into whether you might be better off living God’s way. This will involve time and effort but it will be worth it. I know many people who have overcome their addiction to junk food and swear that it’s worth giving vegies a decent go.
