Are You Using God as A Vitamin Supplement?

Are you using God as a vitamin supplement?

And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all. Ephesians 1:22-23 .to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Ephesians 3:19

Pastor Mark Wiley was preaching on the 7 deadliest sins, those sins that are root to so many other sins when he made this statement: "Are you using God as a vitamin supplement?"
God is not seeking to be a part of your life. He is your life. He is your all-in-all. So often we do not live as if this is true and we take daily doses of God and sometimes we even miss doses, much like our multi-vitamin.
A vitamin supplement is often taken as just that, a supplement. It is taken in addition to our main diet to fill in what may be lacking, where there are deficiencies. What we fail to see is that we don't have some deficiencies, but rather we are totally empty and void of anything of eternal value apart from Jesus Christ.
We try to fill our lives with so much stuff: people, things, activities none of which will endure or fully satisfy. It's kind of like eating cookies for lunch. They taste great but won't hold us until dinner because they lack good nutritional value.
When we stop using God as a vitamin supplement to a poor diet and start being filled by Him we will be fully satisfied with Him.
Our hearts will sing with delight and fullness. He is our All-in-All.
