What Are You Eating? Are You Filling Up On The Word Of God or The Things That Pertain To The World?

What are you eating?   Are you eating food that is nourishing for your body or are you filling up on junk food?    Food that is nourishing will cause us to be strong and grow, whereas junk food can affect every part of our body and cause us to be overweight and very unhealthy.    We have to watch our diet.  

What we need to understand is, just as junk food affects us physically, taking in the junk of the world will affect us spiritually.    We can either feed off of God and His Word or we can feed off of the things in this world.    We can either feed our Spirit or we can seek to feed and to satisfy our flesh.  

The word feed means to supply with material, power, or other things “necessary” for its operation.   The Word is necessary for us to be strong in God, to be led by God, and to live for God.  We have to be aware of what we are consuming.   When we consume things, we absorb it and we give all of our attention and energy to it.    What is it that you are consuming?   What are you absorbing in your eye gate, ear gates, and your life?    What are you filling up on?  Make sure you are taking in those things that lead to life and Godliness.  

SCRIPTURE MEDITATION

Revelation 10:9-10

King James Version (KJV)

⁹ And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey.

¹⁰ And I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.
