Essential Vitamins And Minerals
Getting the proper nutrients in the right combinations is vital to optimum health. Elite athletes are typically obsessed with nutrition because it is the building block for muscle and fitness. The words organic, grass-fed, non-GMO are the hip words of the day. I’m sure you have seen food items like cereals and milk fortified with essential vitamins and minerals. Do you know that there are also essentials for your spiritual life? These essentials come from prayer, worship, and ingesting the Word of God. Without these essentials, optimum living and prosperous spiritual life are not possible.
Gal 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.
These characteristics are received, not earned. Relationship with the Holy Spirit and meditation on the Word of God causes these characteristics to fortify the way we live and become who we are.
Psalm 1:2-3 But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law, he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers.
Meditating on the Word of God is similar to a cow chewing the cud. When a cow chews the cud, it means that the grass it has eaten comes back up to its mouth multiple times, from its various stomachs, so that all the nutrition is fully extracted from the grass. So it is with us; we must bring to remembrance the Word that God has spoken to us and meditate upon it over and over it until we become all that it is!
Many Christians live malnourished because they have either not spent time in the Word or not taken the time to meditate on the truths that God has spoken to them through his Word. We must remember that God and Jesus are the Word. So, when we meditate upon the Word, it is God himself that we are soaking in.
In the beginning, was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:1
Jesus said, “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word that proceeds from the mouth of God.” Matthew 4:4. Though natural food is essential, it is the spiritual food we ingest that will cause us to step into the abundant life God has intended for us.
As I pray for you today, I am trusting God to enable you to experience, in a new way, how satiating it is to fill yourself with the nutrition of heaven! Jesus told us to pray, “Give us this day our daily bread.” Matthew 6:11 Heavenly nutrition must be more than a weekend service or a midweek Bible study; it must be your daily sustenance!
