Bon Appetit!

Dr. Oz, Rachael Ray, Oprah, ABC News, CNN, the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times have something in common.  They just can't rave enough about the acai berry!

Hundreds of endorsers combined with endorsements of more than satisfied customers testify of living large by getting small as the result of ingesting this global 'Super Fruit'.  The inch long reddish, purple fruit is derived from the acai palm found in Central and South America and is credited with with resurgence of health for the overweight as an appetite suppressor.  It's natural properties are said by many health and nutrition experts to build up the immune system, promote heart health, detox body toxins, and to even reduce stress.  If you look in the right places, you can still get some freebie samples through this Saturday night.

Now that's how you get ready for a Super Bowl Party!  Load up on acai and grab the Doritos!  Who says that you have to eat the whole enchilada?

"Whom have I in heaven but you?  And earth has nothing I desire besides you." Psalm 73:25

Go back and read those two simple sentences again...and again...and again.  Think of the implications of each if they described YOUR life.  Talk about a laser focus!  Talk about an insatiable appetite for angel food!  Try to comprehend all the things upon planet earth that you absolutely crave and let those words sink a little deeper.  These words drip with soul-ish detoxification!

I am not saying that the all you can eat rib plate at Outback Steak House is a no no.  Don't think for a moment that the bottom-less chips and salsa at Jose' Peppers has to be pushed aside when you dine.  I've heard that you can eat a ton of prime rib on the buffet at Argosy Casino for one swipe of your debit card, and that can sure be a tempting offer, but...

Could you leverage ALL of your desires against the invitation to intimacy with your Maker?  Would you?  Are you?

Jesus said, "Seek first the Kingdom of God and all of these things will be added to you."   Does your lifestyle and mindset invert Jesus' words?  Are you prone or even captive to your affections, ambitions, appetites and wants with the sidebar hope that His 'kingdom' will one day be added to you?  Be honest.  No one is looking and no one knows all about you except you and your Maker.  Really, where is your heart?  What do you really yearn for?  It's deeper than something as simple as fine dining, fashion or personal comfort, isn't it?   Join me and others on a 3 week journey, Awakening 21 described at www.clearpointchurch.com.  You can really know and be joined to the heart of God.  This is your opportunity.

Bon Appetit is French for 'enjoy your meal'.  It has become a universal welcoming of dinner guests to dine right before opening wide and stuffing the mouth full.  Maybe a dose of acai and a prolonged diet in the Scripture...

Bon Appetit!
