God is My Multi-Vitamin
By Christine Harper 

     I take vitamins, lots of vitamins.  Vitamins came up as a recent Bible study and through the coaxing of my sisters in faith, I purposed to show God, through prayer, is my multi-vitamin.  This is how He is my everyday evidence.

     For a long time, I wasn’t “eating healthy” in my life.  Then I discovered ‘multi-vitamins.”  Every morning, faithfully, I take my multi-vitamin.  Multi-vitamins are packed with everything a person needs.  There is vitamin C, which is loaded with stuff to fight those cancer-causing cells.  There is vitamin D and calcium to help build strong bones to keep my structure stable.  Folic acid is smart food, and potassium relaxes my muscles and helps release the tension in them.  Then, there’s iron.  Iron lifts me up, keeps my energy level high to get through each and every day.  Finally, there are a lot of other nutrients that I know are just plain good for you.

     God is my multi-vitamin.  He can be taken at any time of the day and He is the time-released kind.  When I need it, He releases it into my life.  He is always in my system.  When Satan is trying to work his evil, God shoots vitamin C my way to help fight him.  Through God’s word and his loving mercy, I am given a stable structure to carry me through this world.  The Bible is my smart food where I can receive the truth about life.  Carrying burdens?  No problem.  God sends His nutrients my way to ease that tension and those burdens.  God is my iron strength.  He lifts me up, provides me with divine hope and gives me strength to get through this crazy life.  Last, there’s all that extra stuff that He knows I need that He just lovingly dishes out and fills me up with.
