Feed On His Faithfulness

Elder Sean D. Smith

Trust in the Lord, and do good; dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness. Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He shall give you the desires of your heart.

 

- Psalms 37:3-4, NKJV

We are living in a consumer’s market where any/all things are available at a cost for those who desire it. The world and all of its allure offers a little of “this” and a little of “that”…leaving Christians to feed off a menu that is neither spiritually nourishing or enhancing. Know that we are what we eat and that this buffet of carnality is consuming God’s people from the inside out; however, the Lord is offering a seat at His table for all who are willing to feed on His faithfulness. Understand that the cost of carnality is our collective souls and while many of us are not “willing” participants in the spread/promotion of the world’s banter, our silence or blind eye is just as liable. Similar to second hand smoke, that while not directly killing others does indirectly contribute to their death, so too does the Church enable the world’s consumer market by not providing the “soul” friendly/healthy alternative for the world to consume. When the Church prays, God moves…when the Church teaches God empowers…when an empowered Church moves according to God’s will people are liberated. This all begins and ends with turning away from the shiny apples of the world, and by the Church feeding on the faithfulness of the Lord…seeking His righteousness vice our own carnality…believing that He is all we need, and as long as He is our portion, we will have all that our hearts desire. Today take a closer look at what you are consuming and promoting knowing that unless “it” contains the ingredients of Christ, “it” is either directly or indirectly contributing to someone else death.

BE BLESSED!
