Eat it right up

He said to them, "Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men."

Matthew 4:19

"Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime."

Everyday, we are fed information to help us succeed in life. Whether it comes from our parents, our teachers, our friends, or the television; is about our family, math, relationships, or a breaking news story, we take all of this information, decipher it, and allow it to affect us accordingly. God feeds us in the same way. He nourishes our faith and lives. However, for it to work, we have to put in some of our own effort. We have to learn how to. There are two sides to the learning process: teaching and learning. He may teach us, but we have to take what he teaches us, take what we learn and apply it in our own lives to grow in our understanding of our faith. So tomorrow, as you eat a bit of fish (for it's Friday!) , think about what your are eating. How does God reach us? How does he feed us?
