Daily Diet

What is it that you are feeding off of? What do you use to nourish yourself? Brain food, junk food or soul food?

Which of these are we feeding off of most often?

Brain food – Knowledge and the pursuit of that knowledge. Knowledge in and of itself is not bad but do we use that knowledge to ‘explain God’. Do we use that knowledge to analyze His word or instruction to the point of inactivity, using more time examining than doing? Is that pursuit of knowledge drowning out the voice of God? Proverbs 3:5 ASV ‘Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding’.

Junk food –Spiritually, mentally and physically junk food tastes and feels good but does you no good. Spiritually, are we spending time just doing the things that feel good but spending no real time actually nourishing our soul? Are we only spending time just listening to the music or the Word but never taking the time to really digest it, to put it to use in our lives? Spending time reading and meditating on His word, spending time in His presence, praying, waiting and listening for His voice.

Soul food –are we really seeking God’s soul food? Food that nourishes the soul and fosters true growth. Fasting and prayer, reading and meditating, growing in love and patience.

What is my spiritual diet? What do I feed my soul on a daily basis? To come to a place of spiritual health, we have to spend time and devote ourselves to the Maker’s Diet – 66 books, 365 days, 1 Lord, 1 Savior.
