Better is a dinner of herbs where love is than a stalled ox and hatred in addition to that.
Think back to your fondest memories of family meals.
What made them memorable, the food or the togetherness?
Would you trade those simple meals for a gourmet feast with people who bicker and fight with hostility?
Most of us would not, for we know that riches and comfort are not worth the cost of sacrificing peace and harmony.
Lord, thank You for putting loving and kind people in my life.
I am grateful for my natural family and my church family.
Please help us to dwell in the richness of the bond of love that we have in You and not look with envy at the wealth and luxury of others.
In Jesus’ name, amen.
