Eating Again

Pastor Jerry, our interim pastor, shared the following concept. It set me free from an inner sort of chiding. I hope it will do the same for you.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Do you remember what you had for breakfast yesterday? last week? last month? last year?

Probably not, but the important thing is this: you ate.

In the same way, we may not remember what we 'ate' from The Bread of Life-
The Word of God-yesterday, last week, last month, or last year,
but the important thing is this: we ate.

What we eat, sustains our energy levels until we eat again.
It seems to have a short-lived effect
but what we eat builds our body at a cellular level.

We are what we eat.
We become what we feed our spirit, soul, and body.
Healthier, fatter, leaner, saltier, sweeter, darker, lighter, etc.

So, eat the Word.
It doesn't have to be a smorgasbord ingestion.
It can simply be a verse, a psalm, a portion of
the gospels or epistles.

Ingest it.
Digest it.
Apply it.
And then, eat again.

Don't worry if you can't remember what you read the day before.

If you read it, ingested it, and digested it, applied it,
it has already become part of who you are
at a spiritual cellular level.

And your next 'meal' or 'snack' will
build upon your previous inner strength.

So eat, and enjoy!
And eat, and enjoy, again!
