Napoleon is credited with the quote, “An army moves on its
stomach.” It is so true that what we eat
impacts who we are and how we perform so much.
I have paid careful attention to what I consume over the last few years
to manage my weight and diabetes. I
realize that if I am to be spiritually strong I need to be very careful what I
consume too.
What I feed my mind and spirit determines my strength to
fight this war. Failure to dine on
things that enhance the strength of my new nature makes it weak and
vulnerable. Everything I take in changes
me in some way. I am constantly
bombarded with messages that tell me who to be and what to do.
I must filter all of those messages through who Christ is
and who he wishes me to become as his follower.
Everything about this is centered on what I allow in or how I filter
what I consume. I cannot passively consume
things without knowing what I am taking in.
That will damage me.
If I am to keep an advantage in this war I must take in the
things that feed my spirit. I must
devour healthy things. I must refuse
things that will harm or weaken me. Once
again the only way to win is constant vigilance.
Wishing you joy in the journey,

Mat 13:52 So Jesus said to them, "That is why every writer
who has become a disciple of Christ’s rule of the universe is like a home
owner. He liberally hands out new and old things from his great treasure
store."
