Sushi Bar
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
…John 3:16
A 1950’s television set, with a fish tank behind the picture tube makes for a great conversation piece. I have always liked items that are different and unique, a lot like me I guess. The television has the original knobs, gold trim, etc; I found it at a garage sale and love it. Today though I felt such a loss as I found one of our fish lying over the “Sushi Bar” sign. Our little fishy gave up the ghost. He had been with us for around seven years. Poor thing! But I couldn’t help but be humored over this, especially where he was draped.
I have days like that, where I feel I have been left on the “Sushi Bar” delectable’s buffet for Satan to pick on me some more. Lying there helpless and tongue wagging, our enemy could care less what condition we are in, as long as we don’t turn to God for help. He will leave us lifeless if he could. God though in His matchless love and constant care, sees our condition and loves us in spite of it.
In this my most recent devotional book, Sliced, Diced and Mashed I have referred to the many times I have felt the reigns of my enemy choking the life out of me. Running to my Savior, He became my protection, wrapping His arms around me, reminding me He has the final word, and it is not “Sushi Bar.”
Satan wants to leave you for lifeless friend, but Christ won’t let him near.
Choose the Deliverer, Comforter, peace and joy when life hands you dead fish.
Father,
Thank you for life eternal and the final word over our enemy, when he is bound for a dark eternity. Thank you in the name of your Son Jesus for the life we have in Him.
