How long could you survive by eating one meal per week? What about your spiritual life? How much time do you spend in Gods Word? One time per week at Sunday worship? Two times a week? Three times a week? How can we be effective for Christ if we are starving and not even taking care of our own spiritual health?
I’m reminded of Jesus in the desert for forty days and forty nights without food or water before the devil tempted Him. Can you imagine not eating or drinking anything for that long? Some quick research online says that you could possible live three weeks without food or water, but they really don’t want to test this with human beings. The devil tempted Jesus by offering Him food to eat and He refused to bow down to the enemy. Jesus knew his Father would take care of his needs. The only way Jesus survived is by a miracle of God, but don’t think that He didn’t suffer. I’m sure his body felt the pain of starvation.
Please don’t take your spiritual heath for granted, take care of yourself! Jesus did. Don’t believe that you will be ok if you take time for God from time to time. You need to stop every day and allow your Heavenly Father to speak to you. He has much to say if you will only listen to Him. It takes practice, just like anything worth while does, so don’t delay – Start TODAY!
In Christ Love – Joseph
