What Are You Eating Spiritually?

Suppose someone went on a cruise and didn't realize the meals were included in the price. While others dined on the chef’s finest dishes in the dining room, they ate peanut butter sandwiches in their cabin.

It's a good analogy for my behavior at times when I stupidly depend on my own resources instead of on God. 

I may see some results…after all, peanut butter has some nutrition.

But real change comes when I depend on God’s Word and prayer to change me.

Hebrews 4:12 says God’s Word is alive (yes!). It actively changes my heart and mind and reveals my true attitudes. If I believe it, memorize it, and meditate on it, I will change.

You and I can dine on the peanut butter of self-help or sit at the banquet table of God’s Word. When we “sign up” for our salvation journey, “nutritious meals” are included!

Our menu:

“It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’” Matthew 4:4

“How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!” Psalm 119:103

Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.” John 6:35 

So let's make sure we're eating at the Lord's table rather than relying on self-help fast food.
