Refrigerator Zombie
We have all stood in front of the fridge with the door wide open and just stared. Our eyes tracking side ways and down. And after three minutes we decide there is nothing to eat. the truth is that there is plenty to eat , but it doesn't excite us. It's not delectable.
We often do this with our spiritual fridge. We stand there with the door wide open looking for something to put in our spiritual stomachs but can't seem to find anything that is worth eating. There's plenty of stuff in there but nothing excites us. That's because we have been deceived to think that we need constant gratifying stimulus. Let's face it guys , you can't eat ice cream all the time (Yes Alena , you could give it a good shot though) If you look closely at those shelves you will find Prayer, Worship, Sacrifice, Surrender and Service. These definitely don't look delicious but I you don't know just how nutritious this stuff is. I guarantee that a balanced diet of this stuff will give you spiritual health that you probably never thought attainable. And God will provide a dessert tray of blessings after you eat the stuff that tastes like broccoli. So don't just "zombie out " in front of the fridge, grab some spiritual food and wash it down with a cup of faithfulness.

I always feel better after eating whole grains and fresh fruit, without that refined sugar high. It's disciplining yourself to love the things that are good, really good. Once you get there, the other things don't appeal.
I've got a big jar of Surrender in my Fridge I've been working on for years...
