Psalm 1 - Listen to this message now in Real Audio or download as MP3

God is like a bowl of vegies.

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 all the time, just try this experiment with kids. We choose chips over vegies because they taste soooo goood. Spiritually God is as attractive to our sinful nature as a bowl of vegies and sin is like a bowl of chips. But real blessing comes from living God’s way, with God and for God. We are designed to eat vegies not fatty chips; we are designed to live with God and for God, not for ourselves. Going God’s way involves making a deliberate decision not to give in to spiritual chips and to eat a healthy spiritual diet. It involves going against your feelings, it involves saying no to temptation, no to being selfish and lazy. It involves forcing yourself to do what you have decided, to read and live God’s Word. If you don’t make this deliberate choice you will slide away from God and that is always something that you will regret, both now and forever. Decide now to go God’s way.
