Reasons you need Specific food and drink quality – The Kampala Report

Readings: Prov 9:1-6. Eph 5:15-20. Jn 6:51-58

In the course of our daily lives, there are so many things that we discern easily. Some we even choose instinctively without giving them a lot of thought. Others we do so inductively, with some little effort. There are, however, major ones where choices should only be made after rigorous application of conscious effort at discernment.

One area that requires lots of wisdom is discerning what to consume and what not to, knowing that what we become is, in a way, dictated by what we consume. So many things are thrown into our faces, with the promise that they’ll satisfy us, and that they’ll provide what we need to operate efficiently. They come packaged in many different ways, to appeal to different aspects of our lives. For example, this might apply to actual food and drink. Do we need this particular quality and quantity of food and drink? Have we discerned what truly gives life?

May Jesus Christ, the Living Bread, grant us the wisdom to discern what truly gives life and the strength of character to choose this.
