Breakfast
I read an article this morning talking about the importance of eating a good breakfast and the reasons why.
Almost everyone has heard the phrase, “Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.” I just wonder why so many, even me at times, don’t let it carry much importance.
The article is geared mostly to parents talking about the reasons why their children should eat a healthy breakfast. I am no child though I act like one sometimes and surely no parent, but regardless, I think this information is important to us as well. Stated from the article, these are the five reasons a child should eat a good breakfast:
1. Do better in school
2. Have more focus and concentration, more energy, and better eye-hand
coordination
3. Have fewer behavioral problems
4. Are more likely to meet their nutritional needs overall
5. Have an easier time staying at a healthy weight
I look at these reasons and start changing some of them. I start thinking, Performing better at work… Less agitation and more patience… and the rest seem to fit well. Sometimes I think that there are little differences between children and us. Some may say that we just have bigger toys.
Our physical diets or eating habits are important, but I have recently been thinking more and more on what that looks like in relation to our time with God. I view this article and I have to admit, I start thinking about a spiritual meal. What the heck is a spiritual breakfast?
I read in 1 Peter that we are to crave pure spiritual milk. I read this and started thinking about my time with God. Lately, I have been spending time with Him right before bed. This is the end of the day, after the hours of work, and the beat down. I guess I choose that time because it is when it is the most convenient.
Now I am wondering, after reading an article as such, whether it matters when we are spiritually fed. These psychologists and dieticians are saying that, breakfast is the most important meal. I am wondering what kind of difference it would make, to have my time with God before the world hits me. I am going to try it out, and in the mornings, start having my so-called spiritual breakfasts.
As I re-read the article, I continue to change the words. "Top five reasons to have your spiritual breakfast." What would be yours?
