A CHANGE OF DIET!

Matthew 4:4 But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God’”.

We all know our bodies don’t do too well when we’ve been overeating the wrong foods, like too many cakes, or burgers and chips! We may like them, but we can grow a bit too ‘cuddly’ round the middle!😊

On the spiritual side of things, it might be that the enemy has been feeding you on a diet of doom and gloom dandelions, of condemnation nettles, of discouragement dock leaves, of depressing bind weed, or other unhealthy things and your spirit may be feeling a bit weak, like your spiritual muscles are needing some help?

If so, it would be good to have a change of diet!😊 How about ‘I am the righteousness of God in Christ’ healthy bread, or ‘I can do all things through Christ’ steak. Maybe we need to eat some, ‘I am blessed going out and coming in’ vitamins, and ‘I am strong in the Lord and in the power of His might’ protein, or ‘I am above only and not beneath because I am a victor in Jesus’ fruit

The experts tells us we are what we eat and the same thing works in the spiritual realm. If we want to be strong in faith we need to hear and digest the Word of God. Jesus calls himself the Bread of Life so if we live on the word of God, we’re feeding on the truths of God, and His word will make us strong in our faith to deal with whatever comes our way.

So, how is your spiritual diet today? May I encourage us all to come to His table and feast on His promises, on His Word, and have a fresh infusion of faith and get ourselves built back up again?

Just before I go, one of my favourite words to feed on is Psalm 5:12 For You, O Lord, will bless the righteous; With favor You will surround him as with a shield. NKJV

I hope this lifts your spirits today and hopefully makes you smile.😊 But I pray we can all enjoy our God given, spirit building diet each day. Psalm 34:8 Oh taste and see that the Lord is good! Blessed is the man who trusts in Him.  Amen.
