“It’s too good to be true.”
We’ve heard it.
We’ve said it.
We understand the meaning ~
we’re either skeptical, or about to receive
an unbelievable bargain or blessing.
Years ago, when I made a committment to healthier eating,
I wasn’t aware how much it would cost me.
At the time, I didn’t imagine I’d end up paying $4
for a loaf of whole grain, preferably sprouted, bread.
So, when I found wheat bread for only $2 a loaf,
it seemed too good to be true.
Only two bucks?
Wow.
I was seriously thinkin’ about stocking up.
Until I turned the loaf over and read the label.
See the third ingredient?
High fructose corn syrup.
It was only one of the three sugars used to make this
“healthy” wheat bread.
I paid $4 for the loaf with less sugar and higher protein.
That’s why there are so many
warnings to read the fine print.
We don’t need any unexpected surprises in life.
We don’t want to find out later that
something we thought was
good for us,
actually wasn’t.
I’m so glad there’s
no fine print in the Bible.
If the Bible says something is good for us,
it is.
If the Bible says something is bad for us,
it is.
If the Bible says something is going to happen,
it will.
If the Bible says something won’t happen,
it won’t.
The Lord cannot lie,
His promises are
The bargain bread disappointed me,
but the Bible never has.
AMEN! AMEN! AMEN! His Word contains all that we need for life and godliness!
Wow, great words. Love the analogy!
Good point… I'll start working on labels soon with my kids.

AMEN! I am gradually going more and more towards home grown, locally sourced, whole foods. Our bodies are just better for it, ya know! On the granola bar front, I really want to learn to make my own…

This is an awesome post. Love those quotes. I'll have to share this one with my Scott as he's a stickler for reading the fine print. The Insurance guys don't know what to think of my man.AND – he's a lover of Snickers Candy Bars. We both like them. I just might have to start serving them for breakfast. 🙂
