SINC is pleased to post another Devotional written by a SINC member:

A few days ago, my wife Eileen and I, were camping in Julian Price Park on the Blue Ridge Parkway. We were enjoying peanut butter and honey sandwiches in preparation for a hike up Carver’s Gap on the Appalachian Trail.


Sometimes it doesn’t take much to make me think of the most off the wall things, and as I thought about honey, I thought about God’s promise to Moses to deliver him into a land of milk and honey. Then I wondered why milk and honey? Why not water and wine? Why not abundant vegetation for the people and pasture for the cattle? Why not any other of the abundant products of the area known as the “Fertile Crescent”?

Then, as I pondered on milk (which would have been delicious with the peanut butter and honey) it dawned on me. You get milk from cows, cows must have grass. Grass must have water and sunshine. So, with milk you get all the other thrown in. Of course, honey comes from bees. In order to make honey, bees need blooming vegetation, blooming vegetation also needs water, and makes its own fruit. So, once again you get so much more thrown in.
That’s the way it is with all of God’s promises. You get what is promised, but you get so much more thrown in. He really is a God Who does so much more than we can ask, think or imagine…

“Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us.” -Eph 3:20.

So often, we get so focused on the little things we miss the additional blessings He has so graciously provided for us.
Won’t you take a moment to look at the “little” things in your life and then look at all that God has given you in addition to them.

Not a bad lesson from a sandwich, huh?
