Anemic Faith

How is your spiritual immune system?

Most people are aware that staying healthy requires a balanced diet, regular exercise and a healthy immune system. People who eat regularly will stay alive but they will not be healthy without exercise and a strong immune system.

This is just as important spiritually.

Many people know the importance of eating, so some who are serious about their spiritual health will try to eat at least a little bit every once in a while. They may even open God’s WORD a couple times a month and read a Psalm or even look around in Revelation.

Okay, how about Daily Discipleship, engaging together with others in and around God’s WORD?

Some may recognize the need for a personal prayer life, for Bible reading, even Bible study, and possibly even focus on their personal faith walk. These may set out to apply and do what they read in their own personal faith walk, relating to themselves and their own spiritual diet.

With any of these things we are getting closer to the elements of wholeness and total health.

But these things alone would only take a dying person from dehydrated and malnourished to anemic at best. Things which have to do with one’s own personal health still fall short when it comes to spiritual fitness. Spiritual health requires getting out and getting active, getting exercise and building a strong immune system.

Of course, some people would prefer just to wear a mask rather than get out in the Son and get active in order to boost their immune system with the D they really need.
