Why do we think that we can live off God's word for more than a day? We would not ever consider missing an entire day with out some kind of nutrition. Yet we go days, weeks, months and possibly even years with out nutrition from the word.
I am guilty of starving myself. I am only harming myself by starving myself spiritually just as I would physically. I am weak because I am lacking.
One that starves themselves physically often times is starving themselves as a way to gain control of their life. When I am not in the word I begin to take control of my life and leave God out of the picture. However, when I am in the word it pretty dang impossible for me not to let God be center of my life. He becomes what I live for and through wisdom I learn to let him take control of my life.
May I stop starving myself and really dig in and devour what the Lord has in store for me.

Great post, Jana. Very profound sentiments... and a very good challenge.
You are so so right!
I keep meaning to add your blog to my list and somehow I get lost in reading your words and forget. I'm headed to do that RIGHT now!
