Many people take a Daily Vitamin, but have you thought about the fact that we need spiritual vitamins, also. There are many pressures of life that face us from day to day, so we need to carry these spiritual vitamins in our mind and heart. And, you don't even have to have a prescription!! These wonderful vitamins are from God's Holy Word, and you need to take them daily for your heart.
For your daily walk, I have found this to be a wonderful vitamin of Guidance -- "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths." (Proverbs 3:5,6) There will be times when we need an extra vitamin of Patience, and this is one of my favorites -- "But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint." (Isaiah 40:31) Another good vitamin for patience is this sweet little admonition in Psalm 46:10 -- "Be still, and know that I am God."
If you encounter a time of doubt or discouragement, be sure and take this vitamin of Faith -- "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me." (Philippians 4:13) If, at times you feel weak, this small, but powerful, little vitamin will strengthen you -- "The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want." (Psalm 23:1) And this wonderful vitamin found in Psalm 27:1 never fails to bring us new courage -- "The Lord is mu light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?"
Praise the Lord for these wonderful vitamins from His Holy Word, and there are many, many more which you may want to add to your needed vitamin list. Be sure to begin your day with a few spiritual vitamins - they will help you face the challenges that you encounter. And don't forget -- "Sweeter gets the journey day by day; serving Jesus really pays!"
