A Special Book For You, This Book Will Change Your Life. In the changing and often ambiguous world of modern age, Christians need to hold firmly unto the Word of Christ to guide them in their daily life. The Gospel is the light along the path of those who are experiencing dark and difficult days; it's the light of hope to the broken heart. It's Spirit and Life. The Bible emphasizes the theme of food because it wants to make us understand spiritual nutrition. Food is important for the physical and spiritual health. No spirit can live without spiritual food. As the physical body continually needs food, so does the spirit. A major problem is that human nature compels us to focus almost totally upon the physical. We live in a world obsessed with outer improvement. People live in debt to maintain a glamorous appearance. Many people either in ignorance or willingly neglect taking care of their spiritual bodies. Life is not ultimately physical and the flesh is not the whole man. God provides us "Israel's experiences in the wilderness" to let us know that there is a spiritual aspect to life that requires feeding and maintenance, just as surely as the physical. The spiritual food is merely the food for your spirit or your spiritual body. It is amazing to know that you have to nourish your spirit on a daily basis just the same as you do with your flesh. Your spirit has a kind of food that the flesh knows nothing about. What food does your spirit need? Yes, this is a challenging question that deserves a proper answer. Spiritual bodies eat the word of God and drink the presence of God. God and His word are the sustenance of eternal and abundant life. We find in the word of God all the energy, vitamins and proteins that our spiritual body requires. We cannot be spiritually healthy without feeding upon the word of God. We can visit hundreds of different stores to get food to eat, and the food we buy from them will make us feel strong physically. However, there is only one place where we get the food that will feed us spiritually: God is the only provider of spiritual food. God's Word is just as essential to spiritual life as food is to physical life. Just as one must discipline oneself to provide and eat physical food, so must one exercise discipline to seek and ingest spiritual food. If one will not do this, then, just as physical health will decline without adequate food, a person's inadequate spiritual diet will lead to spiritual disease. Each person loves his body and nourishes it. However, many people neglect their inward being, they clean the outside of the cup but the inside is dirty. The real man is not the flesh, but the spirit that dwells inside the body (Job 32:8). It is therefore vitally important to take good care of the spirit rather than the body. The demands of the body, although important, are nothing compared to those of the soul. Seek the right spiritual food and feed your soul. I hope this book will be a source of blessings in your life and God bless you!
