Physically Fit but Spiritually Starved!

This country is FULL of fat people and exercise junkies!  We seem to go from one EXTREME to the other.  We're told in scripture that "Blessed (highly favored) are the MEEK"...(not the weak)! 

Meek means "not going to extremes."  We either overeat or starve ourselves.  Models look malnutritioned and a large portion of our population is quite plump!  From one extreme to the other! 

We cram book knowledge and facts into our heads--learning new techniques and skills.  Our minds are filled and overflowing with things to think about.  We read tons of books on self-help and we devour the internet for more information on everything from soup to nuts.  BUT we STARVE and NEGLECT feeding our spiritual side.

Matthew 5:6  says, "Blessed (highly favored) are those who HUNGER and THIRST for RIGHTEOUSNESS, for they shall be FILLED (satisfied)."  Our society always seems to be wanting MORE....more $$$, more things, more time, more love, etc.-etc.  Yet we are never satisfied!

Those who do not KNOW God are perishing (from lack of spiritual wisdom and knowledge)!   They feel EMPTY; they know they are lacking something, but they're searching in all the wrong places. 

Come to His (dining) table today; feed from His Word.  He is "The Bread of Life"....He will give you "living water" to drink.  Only He can satisfy you soul!

Don't be conformed to the world's culture, but enter His kingdom and reside with Him!  And remember this--"The Kingdom of God is not meat nor drink, but righteousness, peace, and joy  in the Holy Spirit."  [Romans 12:1-2 and Romans 14:17]
