Our Daily Manna August 27, 2017: ODM devotional – The French Do Not Swallow: Meditation Power Secrets!

Topic — The French Do Not Swallow: Meditation Power Secrets! [Sunday 27 August, 2017]

(Joshua 1:1-9)

I learnt years ago that the French eat a lot of saturated fat, yet they are more lean ( slimmer) than the Americans and far less likely to be obese. Their diseases are half that of Americans and they have a lower obesity rate than other country in the European Union. According to the UC Berkeley Wellness Letter, research conducted in restaurants in Paris and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA, showed that French meals were considerably smaller. The most impressive finding was that the French take longer time to eat their smaller portions. The average french person spends nearly 100 minutes daily just eating, while Americans ‘swallow’ their daily bread in only 60 minutes. The conclusion? Take time to enjoy your food and eat slowly!

I, Dr Chris, am guilty of this sometimes but hear this: If you are served large portions, eat it by little. Never rushing their food is the secret of the French and it can be the spiritual secret of surviving life’s storms.

Since all truth is paralled, God is speaking to you today about never rushing your eating of the Word of God. This is called, “Meditation.” People who eat (read) the food of the spirit (the word of God) slowly (spending time meditating on verses of scripture), instead of swallowing (just reading it), survive the storms of life more!

I thank God that I am not guilty of this! Oh! Form the habit of picking a few scriptures (promises) and meditating on them. It’s one of my divine secrets! Avoid the busy lifestyle! It is not how far, but how well. One verse, Luke 4:18, is what my entire life’s calling is based upon: LIBERTY FOR THE BRUISED! Until you learn to discipline, quieten yourself and meditate, you may not go far in life and ministry. Elevations are products of meditations! Avoid spiritual heart attack! Don’t rush your food! Meditate often!
