So now, O Israel, what does the LORD your God require of you? Only to
fear the
LORD your God, to walk in all his ways, to love him, to serve the LORD your God with
all your
heart and with all your soul,
Perhaps nowhere is the American SUPERSIZED appetite for soda pop better
evidenced than
at 7-11. Thirsty on your way to work? Stop in and buy a 64-ounce Big Gulp! Refills are
free.
Now, can you imagine Americans in the 50's drinking a 64-ounce Coke on the way to
work?
Remember those tiny 6 oz. bottles? They seem like toys now. I suspect today's kids
would have
a hard time believing Coke was once marketed in those tiny bottles. "A MERE SIP.
WHY
WASTE YOUR TIME?"
In fulfilling our SUPERSIZED appetite's, I hope we will also have a SUPERSIZED
appetite for
serving God.
(Deuteronomy 10:12
NRSV)
"SUPERSIZE IT!" Fast food operations hear that word thousands of times a day, giving
the
word "SUPERSIZE" a new meaning in the ever-expanding English lexicon. Why buy a
regular
combo meal when, for a few cents more, you can have it SUPERSIZED? More french
fries to
clog your veins. So much Coke that the colossal cup won't jam into the car's console
holder.
Dear God, who is greater than any size we can dream up, may my appetite for serving
you grow
and grow. Amen.
