Our Spiritual Vitamin
In our world today, many people strive to improve or maintain their state of health. One of those ways is by the consumption of vitamins and minerals that our bodies need in order to be healthy. While our physical bodies require these nutrients for physical health, does it not make sense that we would need a certain spiritual vitamin for our spiritual health? God’s Word, the Bible, is necessary and sufficient for our spiritual nutrition.
We are told in II Timothy 3:16 that “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: that the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.” Hence, the Word of God can provide what is needed to enable us to be spiritually healthy.
In Psalm 119:11Psalm 119:11
English: King James Version (1611) - KJV
11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.
, King David stated that he had hidden God’s word in his heart in order that he would not sin against God. God’s word has the power to keep us from sin and to help us get into and maintain a right relationship with God.
If we daily consume our spiritual vitamin, the Bible, as we do those vitamins and minerals that keep our physical bodies working correctly, we will have the spiritual health that will empower us to spend an eternity in Heaven with God and lead others into this same wonderful measure of spiritual well-being.
