Psalm 54:4 - "Behold, God is my helper; The Lord is the sustainer of my soul."
Our souls are the gateway to our entire person, supporting our body and spirit. Whatever we allow to sustain us in our mind, emotion, and will (soul) will affect every part of us. That is why the Apostle John stated that he desired those he ministered to would prosper even as their souls prospered (III John 1:2). Whatever we allow our minds to dwell on will nurture our entire being. Likewise, what we allow our eyes to fasten on will feed us. Our emotional response to these things will be food for the entire living being which God has created.
What sustains us today? Are we drawing pure life from the Vine and the Vinedresser? (John 15) Or, have we elected to munch on the soulish "processed foods" of this world? It will become evident to all which we choose, especially ourselves and the Lord. May we please Him by looking to Him for our sustenance.
