Energy ebbs and flows like waves reaching and receding on a sandy beach. Our bodies feel the ebb and flow of the digestive system writhing centrally through our torso. Food in; energy out. A system working properly is barely noticeable. Improper nutrition unbalances the system driving energy away. Physical energy recedes back to whence it came.
Just so, our spiritual system often aligns with our digestive system. Energy loss leads to spiritual dullness. Focus dissipates. Enthusiasm (the spirit within) fades.
Paul, the Apostle, described a properly functioning body as a metaphor for many things. Certainly we must pay attention to one to align the other—the body and spirit. When the systems work together, it’s a beautiful thing.
