We all are acquainted with the devastating effects of
malnutrition. If we do not get enough of some nutrient
or other, something in our body is going to suffer.
We are taught what to eat for a healthy heart, lungs,
muscles or even our brain. I imagine that there is
even something special to eat for us to have healthy
small toes.
But there is very little instruction in this old world
about how to have a healthy "you". Yes, you, the
real you, not just your body.
Consider almost any living organism you want.
A tree, rose bush, vegetable, slim or what ever.
They can get the nutrition they need simply from
a supply of manure. But they are not like you.
They do not have a spirit, soul, mind or the thing
that makes the real you. The thing in us that is
going to be somewhere forever. We worry about
this old body we live in. But do we ever think
about the life that is in us. Our real self.
This is the thing Jesus Christ was talking about when he said;
"People do not live by bread alone,
but by every word that comes from
the mouth of God."
(Matthew 4:4 NLT).
The only way our real self can be nourished is by the
word of God, the Holy Bible. If you are neglecting
reading the Holy Bible you are neglecting the nourishment
that is most needed by you, the person in your body.
Neglect it to your own peril.
