For me, there are foods that I cannot eat. They are damaging to my body.
In light of my food allergies and intolerances, I have to be careful about what I consume. If I eat those foods, I get sick and cannot function to full capacity.
Also vital to my health is the amount of rest that I get. I often have trouble sleeping and if I don’t get enough sleep, I am unable to perform at a normal level.
The wrong foods. Lack of sleep. These and many other things are damaging to my health. For me, those things are like poison. My body rejects them just like God spits out those who are lukewarm (Rev. 3:16).
Garbage in. Garbage out. You are what you eat.
Spiritual health is no different.
Stop taking the poison!
There are things that, spiritually speaking, are also like a poison. My top two spiritual poisons are pride and isolation, which I will discuss in greater detail tomorrow.
What is the top spiritual poison or temptation that you struggle with?

A conversation about spiritual health would be lacking if we did not look to the Great Physician as the author of what our spiritual selves need. I don’t know many people who enjoy going to the doctor. However, when we are really sick, in need of wise counsel from someone who has knowledge and experience to help us, we visit the doctor.
“It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick” (Matt. 9:12, Mark 2:17, Luke 5:31). And we are all sick!
We are broken individuals in need of a doctor.
But the doctor is not just for when we are sick. He gives us preventative medicine and advice in his Word that guides us in the right path.
So, whether you are feeling broken or healthy today, I recommend you take this prescription from the Great Physician.
