How do you think about a balanced diet? Maybe you strive to hit all the major food groups each day. Maybe you're focused on vegetables or eating enough whole grains. I like to be sure I eat enough potato chips. It's an overlooked food group.
When you think of a balanced diet on information you take in, do you include Scripture? I've always thought about this text as a way to understand the importance of taking in Scripture, but what about the idea of ensuring that we have a balanced diet of information, so that we recognize the importance of taking in Scripture. For our own mental and spiritual health, we should be consuming Scripture. Just like avoiding a food group might be unhealthy, it might be unhealthy for us to not take in Scripture on a daily basis, for it contains things we need -- reminders that we are sinful and yet redeemed, and also a reminder that the world doesn't depend on us, so we can rest in the grace and love of God!
