This thought for the day has two parts: there is the portion that is more suface level and then there is the part that has deeper implications.

Part 1

The thought came about when a friend of mine went to the hospital on an emergency basis.  Things were critical and thank God, she came out it okay and we talked.  She said, “I was eating too much of the wrong things.”  When we eat the wrong food it eventually catches up with us.

Part 2

I thank her for that revelation because it reminded me that eating the wrong spiritual food will eventually catch up with us.  However, there is another side of that coin because, eating the right spiritual food, which is God’s Word, will eventually fix a lot that needs fixing in our lives.  The operative word is, “eventually”, because most of what needs to be fixed will get fixed, eventually.

I remember when I was on life-support.  Life was a mess.  I made a decision that evening to seek the Lord.  Over the next few days I purchased an English Bible and began to read it, looking for answers.  I was not a theologian and I did not need to be one.  I did not understand a lot of it but I understood what I needed to understand at that moment.  It told me that there is a time for this and a time for that and a time for the other, and then it told me that the conclusion of the whole matter was to fear God and keep His commands.  And it said that God would bring every work into the judgement.

Conclusion

Get off of life-support.  Clean it up.  Follow His Word.  God’s Word will fix it.  Psalm 119:1:9 says:

“Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word.”
