God’s Diet For a Healthy Mind and Spirit
This week, we're diving into the power of feeding on God's word and how it keeps us strong against daily challenges.
Remember, each day brings trials. With these, the enemy tries to feed our minds junk. Telling us we are not strong enough; we are not good enough to overcome this trial. He will try to give us spiritual junk food. We need nourishment to face these trials head-on. God's word is our fuel, our strength. By ingesting His word daily, we become formidable against the enemy's attacks.
2 Timothy 3:16-17 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.
This my friends is the best way to equip ourselves. Begin every morning reading God’s word and spend time with Him in prayer.
Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.
God’s word is alive and ready to fight our battles. It is alive and ready to guide us. It will guide our thoughts helping us to keep the right attitude throughout the day.
Ephesians 6 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
His word is the sword that will fight our battles.
Psalm 119:105 Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.
When we feel darkness is all around us His word will be our light to guide us down the right road.
Psalm 1:1-2 Blessed is the one
who does not walk in step with the wicked
or stand in the way that sinners take
or sit in the company of mockers,
2 but whose delight is in the law of the Lord,
and who meditates on his Law Lay and night.
We should not only feed on His word but meditate on the word of God day and night. Let every morning begin and every evening end on the word of God. During the day when decisions need to be made or problems arise, think of God’s word before acting.
Matthew 4:4 But he answered, “It is written, “‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”
So, just as we eat 3 meals and snacks daily let us daily feed our spirit and mind a steady diet of God’s word.
I hope this has uplifted you this week. Check out the Women to Women post where we dive into feeding our physical body healthy food.
Be blessed until next week, my friends.
