“I have hidden Your word in my heart that I might not sin against You.” - Psalm 119:11
An old expression says, “You are what you eat.” What we consume shapes us; the type of foods we eat have impact, whether for better or for worse. That physical reality also has a spiritual parallel. If our “appetite” fixates on the negativity in the world, we become weighed down by cynicism and depression. If we only chase entertainment and escapism, we end up with a warped and self-centered perspective. God’s Word gives us the truth we need to hear as well as the comfort, peace, hope, and direction we need. Do we need to change our diet? God’s Word can make all the difference!
