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?

THE MESSAGE NOURISHES Poem Devotional

June 17                                                                               The Power of God’s Word
You must give them my messages whether they listen or not. But they won’t listen, for they are completely rebellious. Son of man, listen to what I say to you. Do not join them in their rebellion. Open your mouth and eat what I give you.–Ezekiel 2:8,9 (NLT)

A poem and essay by ILMA
Do you hear the message that God sent?
Do you ignore, twist it or bend?
Are you obeying and following his commands?
Do you fight him and constantly demand?
The message comes from your creator
Without his word, you will continually make blunders
Do not join the rebels, open your mouth and receive his message
Consume the truth that will set you free and you’ll be granted courage.
What happens when someone sends you a message? In this Information age, we receive and give messages constantly. Sometimes we are aware of what we send or receive, but there are also moments when we clearly do not comprehend the message we get or give out. Communication barriers are hindrances to receiving the correct information. These hurdles block us from receiving or giving the message clearly.
In Ezekiel, the Lord gives him a message to tell the Israelites to stop rebelling and accept his spiritual food, which is his word. The Lord commands them to receive his message which will set them free.
PRAYER
Lord, keep me constantly hungry for you.
REFLECTION
How is the message our spirit’s nourishment?
