How many of us, if we miss our quiet time or attending church, feel guilty? Well, we shouldn't.
The Word of God is similar to spiritual food. Just like physical food -- breakfast, lunch and dinner -- is meant for physical nourishment and sustenance, so too is spiritual food -- QT, reading the bible, listening to sermons -- meant to feed our Spirit man. In both cases, a lack of food should make us feel hungry and not guilty.
Ps Prince illustrates this in a snippet entitled "God's Word Our Food", which can be found on his Humourous Bible Illustrations DVD.
Yet, while there are similarities between physical and spiritual food, there is one major fundamental difference, which Jesus Himself points out in Jn 6. The Israelites ate manna in the desert but still ended up dying. But those of us who feed on the Bread of Life will live forever.
