Food For Thought Fridays

Are you anorexic or bulimic?

Spiritually that is.

Anorexia is a disease that causes people to refuse food in a desire to be beautiful and thin. Many Christians refuse the bread of life every day, yet expect God to do amazing things in their lives. How can it be?

Bulimia is a disease that causes people to binge on tons of food, then vomit to remove the impact of the food consumed. Many Christians binge on the buffet of God and can tell you everything about church, music, and His Word, but they don't apply any of it to their lives. They might as well vomit on the doorsteps of the church as soon as services are over. It is gross, but it is true.

I pray that you are neither and that you are like Ezra.

Ezra 7: 10 says, "For Ezra had set his heart to study the Law of the LORD, and to do it and to teach his statutes and rules in Israel."

Ezra set his heart on the Word. He made a steadfast decision that he would not be anorexic.

Ezra set his heart to do the Word. He made a steadfast decision that he would not be bulimic.

Stay strong and be blessed.
