Have You Gotten Your Spiritual Vaccine?
—Grace & Truth Linkup
Has a COVID-19 vaccine made it to your home yet? We’re still watching for it here. Many healthcare workers have received it, and now it’s being given to the next tier.
Thankfully, my in-laws received their first dose of the COVID vaccine this week. We’re thrilled. It’s been almost a year since we’ve been able to sit inside our homes together and visit. There is definitely light at the end of this tunnel.
But with all the attention we’ve been putting on the physical vaccine and our physical health, are we giving ample attention to our spiritual health?
Is there a spiritual vaccine we can take?
Just as with our bodies, our spirit’s health is often invisible to us until it becomes sick.
During the past 12 months, many of the healthy measures we once relied on have been temporarily put on hold: regular in-person church attendance, weekly volunteer activities, in-person conversations with spiritual friends, etc.
But those things are only one part of our spiritual exercise routine. What else can we be doing?
In our Featured Post today, AnnMarie encourages us to assess our current spiritual health. Then she shares ideas to build our spiritual strength in the new year. Many of her suggestions are tangible things we can do. But others are intangible, and just as necessary, such as remembering that the power of Jesus lives in us.
Even if you are spiritually healthy today, keeping your vaccines up-to-date with booster shots is important. When we’re healthier, we’re better equipped to fend off certain sicknesses when they do enter our body. A functioning spirit is vital to producing spiritual fruit that God wants to grow in us.

It’d be way too easy to neglect our relationship with the Lord in this season filled with restless unknowns.
If we ever needed a deeper relationship with Him, it is now.
