Proverbs 4:20-22 NKJV

[20] My son, give attention to my words; Incline your ear to my sayings. [21] Do not let them depart from your eyes; Keep them in your heart; [22] for they are life to those who find them, and health to all their flesh.

Two years ago, I was suffering from self-inflicted health issues due to a poor diet. After trying medicines of various kinds, my wife convinced me to change my diet. Within a few months, I started feeling better and losing weight. The things I consumed were killing me. I had to learn how to eat to live.

We feed our spirit similarly to the way we feed our body. The worldly things we chase and consume do not promote spiritual health. I didn't realize how negatively my soul was affected by the ungodly stuff I chose until I started reading and studying God's Word and pursuing Jesus.
