Chicken Everything

Monday, June 17, 2024

It used to be that you went to the supermarket looking for chicken and that's what you got- chicken. But now when you go to the store to get chicken, you don't just find chicken, you have a choice: barbeque chicken, fried chicken, rotisserie chicken, chicken strips, chicken nuggets, chicken patties, chicken burgers, chicken everything! What happened to chicken is symbolic of what's happened to every area of life in modern times. Our lives are filled with choices and distractions that compete to take up your time and life: radio, television, video, networks, pads, phones, texts, twitter, emails, the web, and the internet. But your life and your time is precious - especially your time with the Lord. The more choices you have, the more crucial it is to clearly choose to give your time only to what is best. If you don't, your hours, days, and years will be wasted. The best that you can seek is God's will. That's why Messiah said, "Seek first the kingdom of God". Your years are too precious to be given to anything but the best, and only one thing is best. All the rest is chicken bits.
