Would you eat here?
If you visit Japan you can stop by the Ogori Cafe…but you have been warned! The Ogori cafe’ sells and assortment of drinks, snacks, and sandwiches…with a twist. Slide up to the counter, survey the menu, make your pick and place your order with the right amount of Japanese Yen for payment…so far so good, right?
Then you pick up your order…only it is not your order – it is the order from the last person in line before you. What? A mistake…nope! At the Ogori Cafe’ you get what the person in front of you in line ordered and your order goes to the person behind you in line….on purpose! Every meal is a mystery and every order your opportunity to give to someone else. Weird heh! Why would I “dine” where my order and my $ go to someone else?
I have been thinking about MK 2:5, about how our faith blesses others (not always or necessarily us). Are we willing to step out by faith, invest in faith,… for others. My faith may be for the next person in line. Our “Moving by Faith” campaign is each of us stepping up to the counter to place an order and pay the price so we can make room for others, for our children, our grandchildren, our neighbors. Sure we are blessed as well but we order not for the blessing but for the next person in line.
Order up!
