A Healthy Diet

“As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:” 1 Peter 2:2

Every one knows we need to have healthy diets if we are going to live a happy life. Every day we see the effects of people who do not eat a healthy diet. I would say the same is true when it comes to the scripture. The Bible says “desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow” we cannot be healthy with out being fed from the Bible daily. I eat from the word of God more than once a day. A Christian lady I ran into the other day handed me a stack of 5×7 cards with verses written on them and she said give them back after you read through them. She reminded me how good a “Bible snack” is. Some of those verses I had not read in a while what a blessing! If we are going to have the right mind set we need to eat daily and even snack in order to hide God’s word in our hearts. Many times the Word of God has stopped me from doing what is wrong and led me to do what is right. We need this if we are going to live happily. “Rejoice in the Lord alway: [and] again I say, Rejoice.” Philippians 4:4

A healthy diet must include meat. Something is missing if we do not have meat in a meal. It does not keep you satisfied. In the Bible it says this about meat “Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.” John 4:34 What is his will?“The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.” 2 Peter 3:9 God’s will is that none should perish, he wants all people to hear the gospel.“Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.” Mark 16:15 Nothing fills you up with more joy than sharing the gospel with others and watching the Word of God work on their hearts.

“And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.” 1 John2:17 Have you had your miracle today yet? I have, God performs miracles every day if we are where he wants us to be, doing what he would have us to do, we can experience the miracles of God on a regular basis.
