How many times are we told to eat foods that are good for our bodies? Lean meats, vegetables, fruits, whole grains…
When given the choice, do we often grab a handful of chips or a couple of chocolate chip cookies instead?
Sometimes it takes a lab report or a visit to the doctor to set us straight and help motivate us into making healthier choices. And when we do, we feel better and have more energy.
While there is nothing inherently wrong with reading a good mystery novel now and then, we need to be on a regular diet of good spiritual food.
We are able to grow in our walk with the Lord through daily reading of the scriptures and application of the principles from God’s Word.
Look at that word, “richly” in the verse from Colossians. Spiritual food isn’t diet food, where we don’t feel satisfied. Spiritual food has substance. It nourishes our souls.
As with healthy eating, spiritual food gives us the energy to face whatever the day may bring. We won’t feel depleted by day’s end, but rather we will find ourselves energized and encouraged as our day unfolds.
Keeping a New Testament or small Bible with you at work or in your car or purse will also make it possible for you to get a spiritually-healthy “snack” in the middle of the afternoon.
A spiritual diet of truths from God’s Word will guide you, and grow you in your faith.
Let God’s Word dwell in you richly.
