Bread is food for your body. Jesus Christ is food for the soul, and He said: “I am the bread of life.” The body may live for 70 years, + or – 10 years. Your soul will live for eternity! Which one do you pamper and feed more?
This kind of reminds me of a person having a short range plan and a long range plan. The food stored up in the short range plan is eliminated daily. But, the Spiritual food taken in daily, is for your long range plan, is absorbed into the heart and mind and is nurturing our soul.
Which one (body or soul) do you do a better job feeding?
You can dine at Burger King and get your food “your way” or, you can dine with the real “King” and feed your soul “His way.”
Then, there is “your way” or the highway. If you have not fed your soul Spiritually, you will probably end up traveling on the broad highway, which leads to the lake of fire.
If however, you took the time to feed your soul, you’ll travel on the straight and narrow road, as the Holy Spirit leads you, and this path leads to His gate… and your “home.”
In either case, your body returns to dust. However, the one who fed their soul, will receive a “new body” in heaven and enjoy their new “place”
that Jesus is preparing for them.
In conclusion, the short range plan leads your soul to hell and the long range plan leads your soul to heaven. Which long range plan are you following? Is it your plan or His plan?
May the Lord lead you to follow His plan, in feeding your soul.
