Fruit (The Fruit of the Spirit in You)

Fruit                                                                                          Day 6

As in water face reflects face, So a man’s heart reveals the man.
Proverbs 27:19

It has been said that it is not wise to shop for groceries on an empty stomach because the eyes and stomach do more of the shopping than the head. Without discipline, but with the available money, everything the eyes and stomach desire may end up in the shopping cart. Like our eyes and stomachs, our hearts can reveal the things we crave and desire.

So, instead of only associating nutrition with our physical diet, we also should focus on feeding our hearts with balanced spiritual meals that make us strong. Just as we may step onto a scale and decide to change the way we eat, we can also pray about what excesses we should drop from our hearts. Matters such as our lust, anger, or envy may not be seen with the naked eye. However, such things make us spiritually unhealthy and slow down our spiritual growth.

Let us subscribe to a daily spiritual fitness plan in our efforts to be more pleasing to God. We can become spiritually stronger when we exercise our faith by reading, praying, and meditating on the Lord and His Word each day. So, let us work to have hearts that reveal our spiritual strength and connection to Christ.
