FEASTING!

If you starve your body of sleep, burning the candle at both ends, or starve your body of needed nutrients, it will seem like you are doing ok for awhile.  But at some point a bacteria or virus that is all around you, and normally not a threat, will find a weakness and attack successfully.  It could even be life-threatening.

If you starve yourself of the Savior's living water, His words as given in the scriptures and in Conference, it will seem that your testimony is in tact for awhile, but then deceits and offenses that are all around you, and normally not a threat, will find a weakness and attack successfully.  It absolutely could be spiritually life-threatening!

Please feast liberally on the Savior's words in personal and family scripture study, that your spirit may be nourished, your lamp filled with oil, and the Holy Ghost given a modem in which to communicate with you in order to help you find solutions to the challenges you face.

We CANNOT make it through what is all around us already, not to mention the future, without constant nourishing.  With sufficient nourishing, we will be more likely to find a thrill in watching the Lord's hand in bringing to pass His work and Kingdom!  It is worth it!  When we fail, repent, and start studying again.  Don't be prideful, keep repenting, and you will gain strength.  Gradually you will be made stronger and find solutions to what tries to hold you back.
