Proverbs 4:20-22 My son, pay attention to what I say; listen closely toMy words. Do not let them out of your sight, keep them within your heart;for they are life to those who find them and health to a man's whole body.

It may have been a sad day in the school canteens the hour Jamie Oliverdeclared war on junk food...but here's the thing, he was doing it for thechildrens own benefit. We need to be careful what we digest. It's not justour stomachs either, we need to watch what we feed our brains.Our favourite mags may give us the lowdown on what's hot and what'snot, but there's not enough substance their to sustain us. Our spiritual livesneed a good dose of iron and all the right ingredients. We need to tuck intoour Bibles for a healthy meal.

It's a diet ofa) POWER. Read Luke 4 to understand the power of Jesus' Word. It's ahealthy tale of forces submitting to God's Word

b) FORCE. '...by God's word the heavens existed and the earth wasformed...' (2 Peter 3:5 NIV). God didn't call in the builders when Hemade the world, His Word alone was enough to create all that exists

c) LIFE. 'The words I have spoken to you are spirit and they arelife' (John 6:63 NIV). When you eat the Word of God, it can't just sit

there and do nothing, it comes to life. It gets to work in you and startsto produce results.

So don't just sit there drooling, tuck in, feed yourself with the Word.VERSIGHT TEAM:Pastor Shane & Glenda Whitbourn
