Fish For Breakfast

 My devotional today was talking about the ressurected body, here's what it had to say....
After his ressurection, Jesus served his disciples fish for breakfast, which has always made me wonder: who cleaned the fish?
I'm guessing Jesus himself did. With his resurrected hands from the cross, maybe he picked up a flat, sharp stone and skinned  and gutted the freshly caught creatures-which, if you've ever cleaned a fish, you know is a messy and smelly business. It's easy to think of the spiritual life as that which raises us above the everyday world to a higher, more enlightened level or something. We want to reach a state in which we're beyond messy chores and ordinary tasks. And yet recently i was chastened by the words of a professor who reminded us that as Christians we believe in the resurrection of the body not just the spirit. This means we throw off all those pagan tendencies toward calling the body bad and the spirit good and instead embrace Genesis 1:31, in which God "looked over all he had made, and he saw that it was very good. So there's no such things as a more "spiritual" or "enlightened" plane of existence. Except, like Jesus, our bodies will no longer be subject to decay like they were before; they will be renewed, heavenly bodies, never to die again. this is good news! -Sarah arthur

This got me thinking, about how we need to embrace both the spirit and the body. Just think when we go to heaven our bodies will not decay they will be renewed and we will be with  the one who created us...so good! Lately i've realized that i have to give up control and give my worries and concerns over to God because when i do i feel so much better and i stop worrying about things. Then i think about how cool it is  that we have a God that takes on all of our cares, concerns, and worries and embraces them. I am continually reminded that his plans are so much better than my own. Here's what the bible has to say...

1 Corinthians 15:34-44 says....
 But someone will ask, “How are the dead raised? With what kind of body will they come?” ³⁶ How foolish! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies. ³⁷ When you sow, you do not plant the body that will be, but just a seed, perhaps of wheat or of something else. ³⁸ But God gives it a body as he has determined, and to each kind of seed he gives its own body. ³⁹ Not all flesh is the same: People have one kind of flesh, animals have another, birds another and fish another. ⁴⁰ There are also heavenly bodies and there are earthly bodies; but the splendor of the heavenly bodies is one kind, and the splendor of the earthly bodies is another. ⁴¹ The sun has one kind of splendor, the moon another and the stars another; and star differs from star in splendor.
 ⁴² So will it be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable; ⁴³ it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; ⁴⁴ it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body
