A quick search on the internet and you will find many sources who will tell you, “You are what you eat.” It is not my intention in this article to focus on any aspect of the food you decide to ingest, though good nutrition is always more beneficial than poor nutrition.
During the time Jesus spent in the wilderness before beginning His ministry, He experienced what has been identified as a temptation to misuse His power and authority and turn stones into bread. In that moment He quoted Deuteronomy 8:3, “Man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.” A look at the literal meaning of what Jesus declared would suggest we should live our lives on the basis of the whole utterance of God’s languaging.
Words have energetic power. They carry not only their own vibrational frequency, but also the emotional intention of the one who has communicated it. Since we are spiritual beings living in a physical body our overall well being and health must include taking good care of our whole being, including the spiritual. What the One who created us has to say about us is important and it would be in our best interest to know and follow it.
I mentioned in yesterday’s blog we purchased a piece of electronics on our way home last evening. When I open the box today, which I still have not done, if I want to make the best use of this item, it will be to my advantage to read the instruction manual which came with it and follow the directions provided. I could simply open the box, plug it in and fiddle with it until I get it doing something, but is this approach really in my best interest? Yet this is what many people do with the spiritual aspect of their life. They never even attempt to find out the full potential of what could be in their lives if they would say YES to the relationship with Jesus.
Discovering the power of the integrated wholeness of who we truly are, beyond just a physical being, introduces us to potential we did not know we didn’t know about ourselves and the universe around us. Make a decision to discover the whole utterance of God’s languaging and its transformational power in your life when you follow it.
