Nutrition for Life

Nutrition fuels our bodies so that they function well.  

Ask any marathon runner or triathlete about nutrition. While reading the training journal of a friend, I was struck by the reference to the word "nutrition."  He was reflecting on strategy for a particular race and writes:

"talked to a coach who told me
it took him 7 races to really dial in his nutrition..."

In the race of life, how carefully are we paying attention to spiritual nutrition?  

Life can be challenging!  If we look upon it like a marathon, what is in our daily training schedule that is equipping us for the race every single day?

What are you doing to dial into the spiritual nutrition 
that will sustain you in all of life's circumstances?

Knowing Jesus was the Son of God, the devil tempted him in the wilderness after Jesus had fasted 40 days and 40 nights and was hungry.  In times of trial and challenge and rejoicing, Jesus drew from God's words, recorded in the Torah, the Psalms, and the Prophets. 



 The tempter came to him and said,
“If you are the Son of God,
tell these stones to become bread.”


Jesus answered, “It is written:
‘Man shall not live on bread alone,
but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’




When we know the Word of God, it speaks to us, helping to make sense of life.  

Be still and know that I am God.  PSALM 46:10

For the Word of God is living and active  HEBREWS 4:12

Take time every day to feed your body and soul with the Word of God!
