DIET

Being small in stature, I have rarely given much thought about my diet and/or exercise.  But now that it looks like I have Celiac disease, I have been looking for more wheat-free, gluten-free food that I can eat.  In the same way that we must consider our physical diet, especially if we have some disease such as elia disease, diabetes, or lactose intolerance, we must  consider our spiritual diet.  What are we feeding our spiritual bodies with?  Are we desiring the pure milk of God’s Word?  (I Peter 2:2)  Are we exercising our minds daily to feed on God’s Word with the desire to grow and become more mature as Christians?  Do we hunger and thirst for righteousness to be satisfied?  (Matthew 5:6)

Just as the physical body needs good food to thrive and survive, so must the spiritual body which needs God’s Word to thrive and survive.  It is not enough to just read God’s Word.  We must dig deep into God’s Word and live it out in our lives everyday in order to become spiritually stronger and closer to God.  If we are faithful to the end, we will have a home in Heaven awaiting us when this life is over ..  Don’t you want to go to Haven to live for all eternity?  If so, please read, study and obey God’s commands faithfully always.
