Just like I can't survive without food and water, I can't survive without the living word of God. So many days I go without even pausing to feed my soul with His word. I keep on living but I'm dying on the inside.
I recognize I'm desperate for His spirit to flood the deepest parts of me. I won't let myself take a step toward Him. My fear is paralyzing.
I fear change, intimacy, conviction.
To get past all this fear, I know I need the spiritual nourishment that only come from the word of God.
I not only need spiritual nourishment, but I must also ask God for receptivity: to respond to what He is trying to say to me in His word. I put into practice when God reveals what I must do. That leads beyond spiritual nourishment to spiritual action.
