It is Friday night and a man arrives home from work exhausted after a tough week in the workplace. He takes off his shoes and collapses onto the sofa. His wife comes into the lounge to greet him and the following conversation takes place:
Wife: How was work today?
Man: It has been another tough day.
Wife: Would you like to have some food?
Man: No I am fine, I had something to eat on Sunday.
Wife: Yes I know but that was five days ago. You must have something to eat. It is not right just to eat once a week.
Man: But I have only ever eaten on Sundays.
Wife: I know! You need to change that habit. You must eat every day. If you do not you will starve and your health will deteriorate. You will end up dying.
I guess most of us will think the man in this situation was behaving stupidly. I mean who only eats once a week? Imagine only eating on Sundays? None of us would copy this example or recommend it to others.
However I wonder how many of us only feed ourselves spiritually once a week?
Sunday is the day we attend church and read the Bible, pray and sing our songs of worship. But do we bother praying or reading the Bible between Monday and Saturday?
All of us need to spend time with God daily, getting to know Him and having our strength renewed. If we do not do that it is unlikely we will ever grow as Christians.
