No Food

"I guess I got kind of depressed" or "I forgot to put food in my system".
I guess so, no food in our bodies and there is no telling what will happen to any of us. Our bodies need nourishment and if they don't get it there will be consequences that will not be pleasant. We must not forget to feed our bodies. I have been by the bedside of those fixing to depart this life and I have heard others say "their body is shutting down." Before their body begins to shut down their desire for food begins to become less and less until they reach the point to where they are not eating or drinking at all. Wait a minute we are talking about those who are getting ready to leave this world. As you and I go through each day our body cries out for food and we feed it and it gives us enough strength to finish out the day and then on tomorrow it starts all over again. Now what about our spiritual life? Doesn't it too need nourishment? Only if you don't want to die spiritually; you see if you quit feeding yourself spiritually things will start shutting down. That's why it's very important for each of us to read our Bibles, pray and be around other Christian people. Peter tell us in

2Peter 3:18
But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.
We should do two things #1-
" grow in grace" #2- "in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ " If we look at the word grace and think of it this way it will help us see what grace is. Gods Riches At Christ Expense.


Acts 17:28
For in him
(Jesus) we live, and move, and have our being;

Philippians 2:5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

Isaiah 26:3
Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.


Are you starting to see just how important it is for you and I to meet with our Lord on a daily basis? When we learn to do that we will GROW in KNOWLEDGE of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Now ask yourself this question how much do you really know about Jesus Christ? Are you kind of depressed because you haven't been feeding your spiritual life? Do you have a desire or have you begun to shut down spiritually? Are you forgetting to attend your Church? Forgetting to read your Bible? Not been hiding God's word in your heart? Oh no, please tell me you're not shutting down! Hurry grab a Bible and start reading and go to your phone and call like you would for an emergency vehicle, for someone to come and pick you up and get you to Church for you need a jostle that will bring spiritual life back again!
