WHAT SHOULD I EAT?


John 4:34 (NKJV) 34 Jesus said to them, "My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, ...
   The ability to eat sustains the body and gives nourishment for work, the need to eat has in view a time of preparation and then the actual act of ingesting. The same is true for The Word of God, there must be preparation and the actual spiritual meal time with God where we are nourished to do His Will.
   Just recently my family and I sat down for a meal in a local restaurant, we ordered and soon realized it was everything we had expected, cooked perfectly and seasoned wonderfully, we left content. God offers a banquet of Truth for the believer, every imaginable perfection is offered, we need only to dig in to be satisfied. However for most, the spiritual taste bud gags at God's wholesome Word, why, I am so glad you asked.
   We indeed have a need for food but our choices are not always good, there are foods that do the body no good. Like physical food the body also needs spiritual food, this food will give light to the soul and nourish it for eternity, that food can only be found in the presence of Jesus. He says, "I have food you don't know about," I love to try new tastes, and Jesus promises to give what we have never tasted before. Wow, our Creator wants to treat us to His delicacies, Jesus wants us to taste His joys and His delights. That will happen if, you have a personal relationship with Him, do you? What are you waiting for dig in, get full on God's Word and you will be forever healthy!
Heavenly Father let us hunger for You, let me only be satisfied with Your Word in Your presence. May I hunger for Your Truth and no other, teach me to taste what pleases You and to love what You love. Amen
