It isn't very often that I miss a meal. I'm very blessed in that regard. Most medical doctors say that a human in good health can go 4 to 6 weeks without food and still survive. There have been people who survived longer than that and also people who didn't make it that long, but it really all depends on your health before you stopped eating. But the reality is that most of us could miss a few meals and it wouldn't affect our over all health. Which brings me to my point. We need each other. Spiritually we need a community of believers around us if we are going to survive the spiritual battle that is taking place around us. My youth minister, who is now a preacher is Kansas City, Kansas, spoke about this very thing a few months ago. He said that we can miss church on occasion, like missing a meal, and it doesn't really affect us, but if we don't stay connected to our church body, spiritually we will begin to shut down.
We need each other. We need to look out for each other. We need to notice when people in our community aren't around. We were never meant to try to live this life alone, God wants us to be in community with each other. Will you commit to being a part of this community and help each other live like God wants us to live?
