Why did you eat breakfast this morning?

July 2, 2019

Most of us/you will answer, to have nutrition, to be healthy to have energy for the day.

But if we reflect deeper, we eat so that we can let others eat.  We are to be answer to somebody's prayer.  We are to be a blessing to others.  We are a gift to others.  This is an answer to the mandate given at Genesis 1:28 that we are to gain dominion over this earth.  We take care of Gods creation, and that includes other people and other creation.

So the next time we eat, we think of our significance to others.

I just saw a post of the cadaver of a boy whose heart and kidney were donated to sick people. He was sick of cancer, and saw that his body becomes useful to others.  Think of people who think of nothing but to take advantage of others...

Or think of an octopus, who after laying eggs to the young ones becomes a meal to its young ones.
