An interesting thought

You know, if you feed a baby healthy food it will grow stronger.... and it won't take very long for it to become bigger.  They grow very fast!  They still can get sick, but they will be better prepared.  But, if you feed a baby insufficiently, whether it's not enough milk or nutrients it will become weaker.  It can get sick easier and that can cause many problems in the future for it.
Christians are like that, too.  If we are fed from God's word, getting fellowship with other believers, praying, and just seeking the Lord with all our hearts, we will grow in godliness.  If we say we are Christians but we don't do anything to strengthen ourselves in Christ, what ground do we have to stand on?  Not much, if anything.  We will be weak spiritually.  It could cause us to fall into sins of the world easier than someone who has prepared for temptation, and is ready to stand up against it.  I want to be strong in the faith, never losing sight of the goal....the goal of becoming closer to my Lord!
This song, "To Know You" by Casting Crowns.  So powerful.... and perfect for what I'm trying to say.
