Let me ask you a question...do you eat?? Your obvious answer is yes.
Another question...which people eat?? every living thing eats...even bacteria eat.
Last question...why do you eat?? Because if you don't, you will be weak and will lack energy. And if you don't have energy, everything about you will be affected because your brain and muscles will need nourishment to function. And if your lack of food continues, you may lose weight, become sick due to weak immunity and eventually die.
Coming to the point, have we ever considered the need to feed on spiritual food as on physical food?? The spiritual food we are talking about here is the word of God. Luke 4:4 hear Jesus clearly shows the need of spiritual food as of physical.
There are also consequences of not eating spiritual food which are similar to physical food.
Weakness. without spiritual food, you become spiritually weak. And when you are spiritually weak, you cannot efficiently fight spiritual warfare because with the absence of the word in your mind, Satan can easily discourage and convince you otherwise concerning your stand in Christ.
Drying out. Physically, you will call this weight loss. The word of God in scripture has been represented as water...life giving water. And what does water do but refresh and cleanse. So without the word, there will be a drying out of your spirit man.
As humans, we have even reserved special times to eat and have even given those times fancy names like breakfast, lunch, supper, dinner, high tea, brunch etc...It is also true that no matter how busy we are we will always find time to eat, let us try and treat the word similarly by putting aside some time in all of our 24 hours to feed on spiritual food.
One thing is clear, that when it comes to spiritual food, we do have the NEED to FEED...
God bless...
