“You are what you eat” applies in the spiritual context as well. It reminds me of the “garbage in, garbage out” post from two weeks ago. But, today, my encouragement is to consider that what you eat, spiritually and physically, affects your performance in the race we are called to run with perseverance.
We all have a favorite verse – one we can lean on and go back to when times get tough. But Scripture is filled with encouragement and challenges that apply in ways we may have never seen before. Children’s stories of Adam and Eve, Noah, Abraham, and Moses are not the only stories with application for today, but even if they were, they have powerful reminders for how to live the Christian life.
What are you eating spiritually today? Is it nourishing you and preparing you for the race?
Here is some spiritual food for Food and Family on Fridays:
“28 Do you not know?
Have you not heard?
The Lord is the everlasting God,
the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He will not grow tired or weary,
and his understanding no one can fathom.
29 He gives strength to the weary
and increases the power of the weak.
30 Even youths grow tired and weary,
and young men stumble and fall;
31 but those who hope in the Lord
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.”
Isaiah 40:28-31
