“An Apple a Day Keeps the Doctor Away!”

The Words of God recorded in the Bible contain life and virtue. It’s like good nutrition and vitamins, you have to receive it regularly to receive the full benefit. When people start to get sick or perceive problems often they begin to consume large quantities in order to make up for some deficiency. But it’s better to be on a regular regimen then to try to compensate for consistent neglect with sporadic and extreme action. It’s like waiting until you have scurvy and then attempting to eat a barrel of citrus fruit in a sitting. Or being extremely lazy everyday until the doctor says you’re dying and then undertaking an extreme diet and exercise program immediately, or waiting to drink until you’re dehydrated and demented and then guzzling gallons of water. Most dilemmas don’t just pop up in a day. So don’t delay to receive the Word and pray until you’re in complete dismay and then expect God to make your problems just disappear and “go away!” If it was your lifestyle that conjured it up then a lifestyle change will be necessary to cast it out. There’s a simple solution for natural or spiritual malnutrition. Just began to eat right. Ask God for help, receive the Word, and pray and obey everyday it’s even better than apples for keeping your problems at bay.
