Our American diets are loaded with sugars, toxins, processed foods, meats, etc. Yet it is possible for us to be eating large meals, be overweight, and still be malnourished.
In Colbert’s book Toxic Relief, he states, “We may be actually starving from a nutritional standpoint, while at the same time becoming grossly obese…Sadly, we really are digging our graves with our forks and knives!”1
In that sense, it is easy to see how our physical lives again parallel our spiritual lives. We can become overnourished on a hefty diet of church programs and activities, religious structure, and traditions of men and yet be severely undernourished when it comes to the deeper things of God.

Have you ever thought that it’s easier to believe God will work a miracle for someone else than to believe He’ll work one for you?
A woman wrote me not long ago and shared that she was a well-educated person who had made a large income—until her crack cocaine addiction ruined her life! She said that she “lived with crooks and collected aluminum cans to pay for her habit”! But one day she had a glorious, life-changing experience with God. He totally delivered her from drug addiction; restored her economic status tenfold; and gave her countless opportunities to witness for Christ!
This is a miracle, and your loving heavenly Father wants to give you miracles too! There is no such thing as a “hopeless” situation. Our Father God specializes in “impossible” situations and delights in giving us miracles. All we need to know is how to receive them!
