Spiritual Food
Consistent Bible reading and prayer are
very important for each individual believers. Each one should
discipline himself or herself to maintain the consistency of their
devotion to the Lord. This is to maintain our healthy relationship
with God. Each Christian should read, study, and meditate on the
Bible seriously and heartily not randomly because it is our spiritual
food. Consistent and proper food intake will nourish our bodies so
also when we consistently read our Bible and communicate with the
Lord, our spiritual aspect belongs to those who have healthy
spiritually living. When a church is doing every activity inline
with what the Bible says the Lord will be pleased and there will be
more blessings. If the church does have consistent communication and
healthy relationship with the Lord, they will have healthy spiritual
lives also. That healthy spiritual life will bear fruit in a good
relationship with each other inside and outside the church. This is
the great impact if we piously devout ourselves in reading the Bible
coupled at the same time coupled with proper application and
consistent prayer life. However, more than this, if are doing things
perfectly and it seems like we are limiting the power of the grace of
God this would appear to be wrong. We appear like those
self-righteous people who are more concerned about their performance
not focusing on God anymore. Christians should always remember that
good works cannot save them but it is the grace of God that by which
we are saved. We are commanded to do or very best but not to the
extent that we aim to do things perfectly but not anymore focusing on
the Lord.
