YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT

We have all heard it said, "you are what you eat". I was sitting here thinking about that as I was eating my rice krispy treat for breakfast. lol It is the Lords day and we are on a weekend get-a-way so I have heard calories don't count on the Lord's Day and vacation so I should be alright :) So,as I was sitting here looking across the river at God's beauty, those words hit home. We are what we eat both physically and spiritually. If we eat junk food everyday and don't exercise, we will get fat and feel sluggish. We will slowly kill our bodies. The same holds true for us spiritually. If we feed our soul with the junk that this world has and don't exercise our faith, we will slowly die spiritually. The scripture tells us that both are important but our spiritual health trumps everything."1 Timothy 4:8 For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come." It is so easy to lose sight of God and our purpose in this all about me world. We have social media which has some good but for the most part is evil. We have churches competing to see who can get the most people to attend rather than focus on the souls that need Jesus. We have kids, work, husbands, and yes even church that demands our attention to the point we push God to the side. My weekend sabbatical has showed me we have lost touch with God. If we as Christians aren't careful about the food we feed our soul, we will slowly die and end up in a devils hell and before we even realized what happened. It's never too late to start over. You can do it and I will pray we all get back on track. "Father God, please forgive us for the spiritual junk food we have been eating. I pray you send us nourishment and allow us to exercise our faith so we can grow in you and accomplish what you have set us out to do. In Jesus Name I Pray." AMEN
