Garbage In Garbage Out

Scripture:
Matthew 6:19-24
Hebrews 10:23-24

You are what you eat is a saying that has been around for years.  I remember hearing ‘If you eat too many carrots you will turn into one.’  Another one is ‘Eat too many strawberries you will turn red.’  Our bodies absorb the nutrients from the foods we eat.  The healthier we eat the more likely we will be healthy.  If we eat just junk food we will become less healthy and risk being overweight and or sick.

The same is true for our spiritual health.  If we fill ourselves with things of this world we will become of this world filled with the darkness.  If we fill ourselves with God’s love, and light, we will become one of His children.  We will be a shining light for the world to see.  If we fill ourselves with God’s word we will be more apt to live a spiritually healthy life.  As the saying goes ‘Garbage in Garbage out.’  Don’t be filled with garbage instead fill yourself with the good news of the gospel.  Fill yourself with God’s light…  Be filled with the Holy Spirit…
