The Bible Pyramid
Growing up, I learned the importance of healthy eating and its necessity for healthy growth. Teachers illustrated what foods were needed more by showing us the food pyramid. Grains at the bottom, followed by fruits and vegetables, next was dairy and protein, and then at the very top was the sweets. A big initiative in this country has always been to get kids (and adults) to eat healthy. We understand the importance of healthy eating because we can see the results on our waistlines. We put so much emphasis on our physical diets, but what about our spiritual diets.
The Hebrew writer had to rebuke the Christians because they were not following a proper diet of God’s word. He says, “for though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the first principles of the oracles of God; and you have come to need milk and not solid food” (Heb. 5:12). How is your spiritual diet? Can it use some work? You may not see the results on your waistline, but you will see the results on Judgment Day.
If there was a Bible Pyramid for a healthy spiritual diet, it might look something like this:
