Read Psalm 19:7-14
Your words were found, and I ate them, and Your
word was to me the joy and rejoicing of my heart.
—Jeremiah 15:16
When we go to the grocery store we need to be
careful about picking up food without considering
its nutritional value. Are there trans-fats?
What’s the calorie count? How about the
cholesterol rating?”
More important than making good choices in the
grocery store is thinking carefully about the food
we digest for our souls. I love the verse that says:
“Your words were found, and I ate them”
(Jer. 15:16).
When we read God’s Word, we have to be doing
more than checking it off our to-do list.
We have to read it to digest it.
Slow, thoughtful absorption of the Word of God
with quiet reflection on its implications is high in
nutrition. His Word provides all the ingredients
we need to thrive spiritually:
* a direct connection to the sustainer of our
soul
* brain food that makes us wise and discerning
* a daily check-up revealing the condition of
our hearts
* preventive medicine keeping us from sin
* a spiritual shower of peace, hope, and
comfort
Eat God’s Word. It’s a spiritual feast!
— Joe Stowell
God’s Word provides the nourishment
That Christians need if we’re to grow;
But if we do not feast on it,
A vibrant faith we’ll never know.
—Sper
The Bible contains all the nutrients for a healthy soul.
