day 3K211: Over Subscribed

“Give us today the food we need…”

There is a subscription for everything now.  We might all be surprised how many subscriptions we have if we were to stop and add them up.  Think anything that we pay a monthly or annual fee for that happens whether or not we utilize the service or not: digital publications, digital entertainment (all those + networks, etc.), magazines, newspapers (yes, those still exist), food services, cable TV, internet, alarm services, Audible, SiriusXM, gym memberships, garbage pickup….need a I go on?  We are subscribed and dare I say, over subscribed!  We can cut back but they just keep on coming.  Let’s ask ourselves, if we were to look at what we subscribe to, what would it say about who we are, what is important to us and how are spending our time?

Maybe our God is the god of the all-time-best subscription.  We sign up to believe, follow and surrender ourselves to His ways in our lives and we get all we want, all we need, all we can take in from Him, every day 24-7, 365 days a year eternally.  With everything else we are subscribed, why wouldn’t we sign up to His subscription today?
