Everywhere you turn experts are sharing the best vitamin combinations to keep you from feeling sluggish and safeguard you from getting ill. The busy calendar of Autumn seems to produce weariness followed by a hefty portion of exhaustion. I have my family on a vitamin regimen to protect us from the dreaded viruses and germs bouncing about at school and church.
Spiritual exhaustion and weariness can leave us vulnerable as well. I would ask you to consider a spiritual supplement regimen especially if you are highly involved in your local church. Some of the best advice I ever got while in full time ministry was to stay well fed. In fact the statement was followed by the suggestion to regularly visit another local church for the sole purpose of nourishment. At this point in history we are blessed with superb resources online. Sermons from great ministers are a simple click away.
It is my belief that a healthy spiritual regimen includes
: a faith community with intimate authentic "bear one another's burdens" relationships.
: a church leadership that values your talents and provides opportunities for you to use them.
: teachings that bolster your faith.
And I would suggest if you desire more than what is offered you give yourself permission to supplement your feeding so you can edify the body you are in.
