Spiritual Weight Loss

Isa_58:11  And the LORD shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.

It seems this day and time we live in, many have gone on diets.  I am sure most who diet have a need to lose weight.  I am one of them, though I am not on a diet.  There are many forms of dieting.  Low Carb diets seem to be the rage at this time.  There are low fat diets, sugar fee diets, even surgery to help you lose weight.

There is another diet that is devastating to the soul.  It is the diet I call Spiritual Weight Loss.  Spiritual weight loss is not a diet of the flesh, but a diet of the spirit.  Many would rather have their spiritual food to be low carb, fat free, or sugar free these days.  They refuse to heed the gospel of Christ and would rather have a watered down version of it.

The problem with the spiritual diet is that when the going gets hard, they will not have the strength to keep going.  They will be weak and unable to resist when the destroyer comes.  Common sense will tell you that the bigger an object is, the harder it is to move it.  We need spiritual giants in our midst to help us stand in these last days.  Better yet, why not become a spiritual giant yourself so you can stand and help others who are too weak.

Do not be like those who would rather grow fat off the land instead of the Spirit.  God is looking for an army of believers who will stand and fight against the wiles of the devil.

Jer_50:11  Because ye were glad, because ye rejoiced, O ye destroyers of mine heritage, because ye are grown fat as the heifer at grass, and bellow as bulls;
