A woman walked into her bathroom at home. As she did, she saw her husband weighing himself on the bathroom scales, while sucking in his stomach.
The woman thought to herself, “He thinks that he will weigh less by sucking in his stomach.” So, the woman rather sarcastically said to her husband, “That’s not going to help.”
Her husband responded, “Sure it will. It’s the only way I can see the numbers.”
Can’t see the numbers? Now is the time to do something about it. My specialized diet involves burning fewer calories than I take in. (Not that I follow it, but it has been my diet.) Not seeing the numbers is very telling about last year’s consumption.
That is also true spiritually. People looking on can tell what you’re consuming from the Word.
John 6:35
Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst.
1 Peter 2:2
Like newborn infants, long for the pure spiritual milk, that by it you may grow up into salvation—
Look down at yourself. Think about it. Isn’t it time?
