Nourishment


When I sat down to dinner tonight and prayed before my meal, I said the words many people say before they eat, “and help this food to go to the nourishment of our bodies”. I never really understood why I said it, but I always have. Anyway, while I was eating, I realized that we put so much junk food into our bodies, but we still ask God for it to nourish us. In life, it works that way sometimes too. We know something is not good for us, we know we shouldn’t hangout around a certain crowd, or we know the things we shouldn’t get into, but we do anyway. Then, we ask God to make those things not affect us, and for us to thrive in our walk as Christians. That is not how it works. I believe that good input equals good output and vice versa. Hanging out with good christian friends will in turn strengthen your walk with Christ! It is so important for us to have “healthy habits” when it comes to our walk with Christ. It is very hard to develop these, and you will struggle, but in the long run, it will greatly benefit you. So, next time, think about what you’re doing and think if it will be to the nourishment of your body and your relationship with Christ.


Philippians 4:8- "Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things."


Romans 12:21-Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.


Colossians 3:17- And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

Amen!!!! i think we need to stp worrying about the nourishment of just ouselves but that the nourishment goes to the betterment of god and the nourishment to others. With that being said the nourishment of our relationship with jesus christ will therefore get better because if you love others it automatically transfers to go because GOD IS LOVE!!!!!:0

You are so right! The nourishment and strength God gives us is for His kingdom and to and His glory! It is so great to share these common thoughts and encouragements with each other!
