Diet

There is a saying in the circles of dietary health, that we are what we eat. Nothing is more accurate to the spiritual and psychological life of the individual.

The eagle eats only things that are alive. He prefers to prove himself by catching his prey, rather than accepting something that was killed by something else. It lives beyond the reproach of others that what it is feeding on is what they have left for him. So, by that token, the principle of the left-over is far from his mind. He is also committed to that value, so much so that regardless of the circumstances it faces, it will not eat a dead thing.

How many people today compromise their values on the altar of expedience. This attribute is not about being arrogant but being deliberate and selective as to what it feeds upon.

I must choose what I feed on because it directly impacts my health and well-being. When I know my worth and the vision I have for my life, I must decide what and to whom I listen, to maintain my health.

The mind is the digestive system of the spirit and soul so Paul writes in Philippians 4:8 “finally my brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things.”

Focus

Today choose what and who you listen to, because your health depends on it.

Prayer

Lord, our spiritual diet determines the health of our spiritual lives, so we seek you Father for the discipline and the discernment to eat what’s right, that it will nourish our spirits thoroughly. May we be ever pure before you and may what we consume be filled with your life, that we can also be filled with it. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
