Prayer Focus-Nourishment

JOHN SHIRK – In the Year of Focus, we take a look at the value of spiritual input and nourishment.

There is a proper balance that contributes to our physical health-rest, nutrition, and exercise. In the spiritual context, these patterns lead us toward a healthy relationship with God. Today’s Focus is on nutrition.

Psalm 34:8 says, “Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.”

We need the input of God’s Word, the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and the experience of God’s goodness for a fulfilling relationship with Him.

Jesus said, “I am the bread of life.” He also has living water to offer us. His words of grace and truth point us to the good news of God’s salvation plan through Jesus Christ. The input of faith-based music, sound teaching, The Bible, and fellowship with other believers give us the taste of God’s goodness and encourage us to press on in the faith.

The value of spiritual input and nourishment is worth examining for a faith-focused life.
