In our health conscious world many have developed a new habit when shopping for food to feed the physical body. The habit of which I speak is reading the Nutrition Facts label. There are two things about “reading the label” we should note: First, we read the Nutrition Facts label because we are concerned about giving our physical bodies what they need, and preventing intake of things that would be harmful. Second, we have become readers of the Nutrition Facts because they are outlined to give us needed information at a glance. People who want to keep their shopping experience in sync with their fast pace lifestyle would not be able to read lengthy labels.
Understanding the new trend of reading Nutrition Facts, I have determined to provide the same for your spiritual health. Reading the Label is my daily devotional to your spiritual hunger and need. Each day a Scripture will be provided with a brief devotion you can capture at a glance. However, if you really want to open the package and enjoy a full serving of the contents, you must read the Bible along with the devotion. Remember Reading the Label, is no substitute for opening the package and enjoying the full benefits and nutrition in the Scripture. Live well!
