TOPIC: Feed Your Soul
SCRIPTURE READING: Luke 8: 41-56
41 And behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue. And he fell down at Jesus’ feet and begged Him to come to his house, 42 for he had an only daughter about twelve years of age, and she was dying.
But as He went, the multitudes thronged Him. 43 Now a woman, having a flow of blood for twelve years, who had spent all her livelihood on physicians and could not be healed by any, 44 came from behind and touched the border of His garment. And immediately her flow of blood stopped.
45 And Jesus said, “Who touched Me?”
When all denied it, Peter [a]and those with him said, “Master, the multitudes throng and press You, [b]and You say, ‘Who touched Me?’ ”
46 But Jesus said, “Somebody touched Me, for I perceived power going out from Me.” 47 Now when the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling; and falling down before Him, she declared to Him in the presence of all the people the reason she had touched Him and how she was healed immediately.
48 And He said to her, “Daughter, [c]be of good cheer; your faith has made you well. Go in peace.”
49 While He was still speaking, someone came from the ruler of the synagogue’s house, saying to him, “Your daughter is dead. Do not trouble the [d]Teacher.”
50 But when Jesus heard it, He answered him, saying, “Do not be afraid; only believe, and she will be made well.” 51 When He came into the house, He permitted no one to go [e]in except [f]Peter, James, and John, and the father and mother of the girl. 52 Now all wept and mourned for her; but He said, “Do not weep; she is not dead, but sleeping.” 53 And they ridiculed Him, knowing that she was dead.
54 But He [g]put them all outside, took her by the hand and called, saying, “Little girl, arise.” 55 Then her spirit returned, and she arose immediately. And He commanded that she be given something to eat. 56 And her parents were astonished, but He charged them to tell no one what had happened.
FOCUS VERSE: “And her spirit came again, and she arose straightway: and he commanded to give her meat.” (Luke 8: 55)

When Jesus raised the daughter of Jairus back to life, He commanded that something be given to her to eat. Her spirit had come back to her, but there was need for her to eat to have physical strength. Her spirit came again, but her body needed to come again. The rising of her spirit did not negate the need for her body to eat and be strong. There was a time for her spirit to come again, and yet another need for her body to feed again.
Friend, know when you need to feed your spirit man and when your body and soul need attention. That your spirit has come again does not mean that your body should not eat. That your spirit man has come alive does not mean that you do not need to renew your mind through fellowship with God and with His word. That your spirit man has come alive does not mean that your soul does not need discipline, contentment, courage, etc.
There are times when your spirit needs to come alive, but there are times when what needs attention is your body. Know when to feed your body. Know when to give energy to your soul. Know when you are running low physically and need to feed yourself to regain strength. Know when you need to feed on knowledge. Know when you need to feed on inspiration from other men. Know when you need to take in what is missing in you.
The same Jesus who caused the spirit of that young lady to come again, commanded the people in her home to feed her. It was the duty of heaven to cause her spirit to come again, but it was the responsibility of those around her to ensure that she was fed physically. Heaven may indeed cause your spirit to come again, but the same heaven requires that you feed your soul and body rightly. Renew your mind rightly. Feed your body rightly.
Wisdom demands that you know when your spirit needs to come again and when your soul and body need to be fed. As your spirit comes again, feed your soul and body rightly.
Psalm 42: 1 says: “As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.”
DECLARATION: I receive wisdom to feed my body and soul rightly, in Jesus’ name!
