Are you eatting daily?

Christians require both physical and spiritual food in order to grow into mature adults physically and spiritually.

While we were infants we ate a diet of baby food and formula which were easier to digest, and help our physical bodies grow and develop. As we grew physically our teeth came in and we were gradually introduced to solid foods and various drinks. Our bodies matured and became capable of digesting and processing those foods for our continued growth. The more nourishment we received the stronger our physical bodies grew.

Spiritual growth is much the same. When we first come to know Jesus as our Savior, we become babies in Gods Spiritual family. As babies in God’s family we require spiritual food in order to grow and mature into healthy adults. However, our spiritual growth is determined by how much we eat and drink of God’s Word. As we feed on God’s word through bible studies, going to church, and reading the Word ourselves the more spiritually mature we can grow.

If we don’t eat daily our physical bodies become weak and unable to fight off illness and disease. If we don’t eat spiritual foods daily our spiritual health becomes weak and we are unable to fight temptations or spiritual battles and we fall to sin.

Where are you spiritually? Are you still a baby who has yet to cut their teeth? A young child just beginning to walk? An adult who has been growing, maturing, exercising your spiritual muscles in Gods Word for many years? Or are you, like many others starving from lack of food, barely getting by on little bites and appetizers going to Church or a Bible study only on occasion? Or are you feasting on God’s manna eating and drinking daily from God’s table?
