Live Jesus

I was watching ESPN's "Around the Horn" and saw a commercial encouraging football fans to live football: eat football, drink football, sleep football, breathe football. Of course, it gave me a chuckle so I decided to say it this way since football doesn't give life:

Eat Jesus
Drink Jesus
Sleep Jesus
Breathe Jesus

In real life, eating and drinking is very important to keep our body energized and hydrated. Sleep is equally important to shut down our mind/body and be recharged and ready for the next day. We definitely need air to breathe otherwise we're all extinct on earth: everything in life need air to live and that's God's design.

In spiritual sense, by eating and drinking Jesus daily, we read His Eternal and Powerful Word. The Word keeps us inspired and energized in God. It's what our soul hungers for. Without the Word, you're a dying soul just as a body is dying without adequate food and water. Let's reflect our life on Psalm 23 where the Shepherd leads us to green pastures and still waters. It's a place of rest. Regardless of any circumstances, the Lord wants us to experience peace in Him. That's sleep for us. Finally, it's important to daily breathe Jesus! There's no life without air. There's no life without Jesus.

Eat, Drink, Sleep, Breathe Jesus everyday!
