Here in America, we use the word "gut" to describe an unmapped part of our being. It's a combination of our intuition, our emotional center, and the holding tank for our courage. We "follow our gut instincts." Shocking news can make us feel like we "got punched in the gut." An act of bravery? Well, "that took a lot of guts." And if asked to point to our gut, it's that (sometimes growing) area between our lungs and our loins.
Let's make a connection now to God's word.
The righteous eats to the satisfying of his soul,
But the stomach of the wicked shall be in want.
Proverbs 13:25 [NKJV]
What is going into your gut? Does it have the power of God?
Brothers and sisters, when we take in the Word of God, it nourishes and strengthens our gut. Our intuition becomes better aligned with God's will. Our emotions will become healthier because the heart will be fortified with the Lord's wisdom. And the resurrection power of Christ Jesus will strengthen and embolden us, making us courageous in the face of the world's traps, taunts and temptations.
Be encouraged, Jose
