I have a kind of food you know nothing about. My nourishment comes from doing the will of God who sent me, and from finishing his work. -John 4:32,34 (NLT)
DIFFERENT KIND OF NOURISHMENT
A poem and essay by ILMA
Are you hungry for something in your life?
Is it love, attention, affirmation or God’s light?
Have you been feeding yourself with his truth?
Do you obey his commands to have the Spirit’s fruit?
God has a different kind of nourishment for you
He wants you to grow in faith and be renewed
He wants you to do his will so that you can be filled
His love is unconditional; it makes you grow and heal.

What kind of foods do you eat? Are they healthier options? What we put in our bodies will definitely affect how we function and how healthy we are. If you constantly eat processed food, you will have to bear the consequences of the ill effects of it. It may not be a big drastic illness. It may slowly creep into your system so subtly and later on manifest as something fatal.
The bible talks about a different kind of nourishment for us. It is a food that comes from doing God’s will and finishing his work. It is feeding on God’s word and truth that will make us eventually grow. We cannot stay healthy and grow if we don’t feed on God’s words.
PRAYER
Lord, show me how to choose right nourishment for my spirit.
REFLECTION
What have you been feeding your soul and spirit lately?
