A Thought About Cereal

In the history of processed foods, no one has ever said, “That bowl of cornflakes I had yesterday was the best bowl of cornflakes I’ve ever had!” Well, with so many “influencers,” maybe there’s one who specializes in processed cereals and has enthused, “I just experienced the most awesome, amazing, and astonishing cereal called cornflakes! I will always remember my first bowl. 🥣” So, perhaps, 1.25e-10 people will disagree with my statement.

Now, if we compare any processed food to owning an island, we would all agree (I hope) that there’s no comparison. We would choose the island. That is the point that the Apostle Paul made in Philippians 3:8, when he wrote, “Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of Christ Jesus my Lord.”

Let’s choose Jesus over “processed foods” like status, adulation, or really fast cars. We make good decisions, but good doesn’t mean best. Let’s make the best decision by choosing to give our lives to Jesus. That’s the right choice. That’s the island!
