Food for the Soul

After going on a fast – it takes time for the body to comfortably process solid food. Your digestive system is prepared to return to a full diet by first introducing soft, mild foods. With that first meal, you can feel the body come alive as each nutritional need is met! 

In the same way, when you have been away from the Word for some time, your spirit must be prepared to receive the fullness of God’s word. So don’t be discouraged if you start to read the Bible and lose focus over and over again. That is your time of preparation. Thoughts about your day, your life, and any random thing possible may run through your mind and take you off focus. Don’t give up!

You may need to start reading the same verse 10 times or more before you are able to focus on your reading, comprehend the Word, and be led by the Spirit of God. Don’t give up! Remember how the fast works and know you can read and focus and receive whatever you need from reading scripture. It just takes time.

By the way, your spirit needs food every day – just like your physical body.

MANY BLESSINGS TO YOU!
