Spinach

Is God spinach?
I say this because we know that Spinach is good for us, yet we don't like it, we don't want to eat it. People won't even try it. I always say you should try something before you knock it. God is great in our lives, but sometimes we see him as spinach, because we know that he is good for us, but we still don't have him in our daily diet. Spinach is very high in so many vitamins and minerals. Including Iron, Vitamins A, C, E, K, even a good source in protein. Why wouldn't we want to eat Spinach, it is so healthy for us. A little bit of spinach can go a long way. But don't people deny God everyday even though we know he is good for us. He may not be a good source of Vitamins and Minerals, but he is very high in love, acceptance, forgiveness, grace, and salvation. Those are things that our body needs too, even though the RDA doesn't include it. God is essential in our lives, and better yet, he doesn't taste bad. God is like spinach in the aspect that people treat God like spinach, but the great thing about God is, he is better than Spinach, and works even more miracles than spinach can, and God doesn't taste like spinach.

Maybe a good example is Pop-Eye. A normal man with normal strength, but when you add the spinach to his life, he is a powerful man. Isn't that just like our lives? We are all normal Joe's (not the plumber) and without God (spinach) we are nobodies. However, you add God (spinach) and you have exponential possibilities. 
The story of Samson in Judges sounds similar. He is a man with God and had super strength, but when he was no t with God he had the same strength as me, and as we all know that is pretty much NONE. I know in my life, my strength with God in my diet isn't my body build or how big my muscles are, my strengths with God in my diet is something completely different. God in our diets will do amazing things. 

So...
I encourage you to give God a try. Don't just assume that he isn't there for you. Don't treat God like Spinach. God wants us all to give him a try. He knows by doing that, you won't want to go back to normal life.
