I Ams 3 Chapter 2 Spiritual Diet "J"

Chapter 2 in Connelly's book is based on John 6:25-51. Verse 27 reads "Do not work for the food that perishes, but for the food that endures for eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For it is on him that God the Father has set his seal."

His food endures for eternity! He promises He will give us this bread. And the people repeat the phrase that the woman in John 4 used.

"They said to him, "Sir, give us this bread always."  Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.

Never hungry. Never thirsty. How does Jesus propose to do that?  By teaching us to feed and drink upon Him. Not just communion, mind you, though that is important beyond my ability to describe.

Connelly tells us that Jesus is talking about our daily spiritual diet. He asks, "How would you describe your daily spiritual diet: healthy and nourishing, junk food, starvation, level, same old reheated food? Explain the results of this diet in your spiritual life as a whole." YIKES the room got suddenly quiet until a few brave souls spoke up during our group.

Do you realize that junk food or one day off per week is now incorporated in many diet plans to relieve any feelings of deprivation? God will not hate you if you sample junk food. So what might your spiritual diet have in it that would be counted as junk food?
