DEFICIENCY



When our bodies lack certain vitamins there will soon be signs of those deficiencies.  Lack of vitamin A causes night blindness.  Lack of vitamin B causes blemished skin, hair loss & insomnia.  Lack of vitamin C causes bleeding gums, loose teeth, muscle aches, dry hair & skin.  Lack of vitamin D causes weak bones.

When our soul lacks the intake of God’s Word it won’t be long before we see outward signs of depression, bitterness, selfishness, arrogance & so on. 

God’s Word produces virtue, a sense of purpose, a relaxed mental attitude, inner strength, beauty & happiness.  Without it we shouldn’t be surprised when our soul is deficient – lacking meaning & causing a huge cavity that we constantly try to fill with all sorts of meaningless worldly rubbish.

When deficient in something, the smart thing to do is identify what is missing & remedy it.
