Don't know if i'm just restless or if the jetlag caught up with me,.. woke up at 4am today. They say the earlybird gets the worm,... but i'm not much into worms..
Life sometimes feels like that,.. we get up early to seek something good from the new day, but all we have on the plate is worms... I really didn't feel like getting out of bed this morning, thinking all i have to look forward to are worms (ie: all the unpleasent issues i'm currently dealing with)... Doesn't God have anything better for us?
Then a thought crossed my mind: What are these worms good for? Good for fishing, we might even catch a big fish with one. Good for gardening, helping the soil produce a crop multiple times larger than we've planted. And yes, we can eat them too! They say worms have lots of protein and are tasty if prepared well... though i haven't had the courage to try any yet.
So how do we make the worms in our lives tasty? Yeah, i know that idea is a but out there, but perhaps we can learn how to fish with them, or accept them in the garden of our lives believing that they are good for us. Not always easy, but i'm guessing it's something God might help us to do... Often i'm not sure how to trust Him with the worms of my life and keep going about trying to rid myself of them.. in my wisdom, not His... Yet i still try to figure out why He keeps giving us all these worms...
Maybe food(?) for thought.. or just the ramblings of a crazy man who doesn't know enough to sleep in on a Saturday morning...
