Will traders barter for it? Will they divide it up among the merchants? Job 41:6 NIV
You need to be aware that this post isn't what this Bible verse is really talking about. It's just the closest I could get to being somewhat related to the topic I want to share.
I really enjoy going to this one particular Asian restaurant. They have reasonable prices, give lots of food, and it's very yummy! Yep! I'm a Christian Overeater, at heart, but I try to turn my heart and my stomach over to the very capable hand of my Lord and Savior! Although I try, I sometimes end up backsliding, at times.
I usually order Cashew Chicken, mainly because I enjoy eating the crunchy cashews. I don't go there often, but when I went this summer, I realized that it was sweet, when I was eating all the many veggies and chicken, thinking it was a somewhat healthy choice for me. I tried to convince myself that it really wasn't all that sweet, but it really was! So, basically, I was trying to barter and focus on a lie, instead of the truth.
Later in the summer, I went to that Asian restaurant with someone else and they were asked if they wanted the brown sauce on their Cashew Chicken or the white sauce. Well, I had eaten it for years with the sweet brown sauce, so I was willing to barter and see about having it with the white sauce, instead. I asked the co-owner about the white sauce, and she told me that it didn't have any sugar, at all. I tried it and she was right! I was able to eat all the healthy vegetables, chicken, and my crunchy cashews, but do it in a healthy way! Fortunately, the Lord God, had me realized I was trying to fool myself into believing the other one wasn't sweet, and once I admitted it was, He showed me a way to still enjoy it without all the sugar!
