Could you imagine going a whole day without eating a single meal? What about weeks, months or even years? That’s so crazy!! Why on earth would we do that? Well, the answer is we wouldn’t!!! We MUST eat to LIVE!!! Our bodies need to eat daily to survive. It would be impossible to NOT eat anything at all and still be ALIVE, LIVING & BREATHING!! It works the same way in our spiritual lives. If we wouldn’t dare go without eating on a daily basis to ensure staying alive then why would we ignore that in our spiritual lives? It’s EXACTLY the same!! We MUST eat to LIVE in our spiritual lives. We shouldn’t be to the point where we are okay with living each and every day without the Word of God in our lives. We NEED it to LIVE and MUST have it to SURVIVE. Think of it this way…every time you open your bible you are sitting down at the table about to eat a satisfying and nourishing 3 course meal. Consuming the Word of God is essential and needs to be our highest priority in our lives. If we are NOT eating spiritually then we can’t keep it ALIVE. That is the only way we can continue to LIVE. Just like our physical body, if we don’t eat then we will die. How long has it been since you have had your daily bread on a daily basis? Is your spiritual life starving to death? It is so easy to forget and not think of getting into the Word of God is like eating daily to live. Why don’t we start today!! Let’s do it together!! Start diving into the Word of God and bring back your LIFE and LIVE!!
I am hungry and thirsty for more of God!
ReplyDeleteI never thought of it like that before. It just amazes me how God can take such a simple example & "put it under the microscope" for us - so that we see it more clear. Awesome!
