“Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts.”
Jeremiah 15:16
I found this verse in Jeremiah and instantly said “YES!!” It’s my official “verse of the week”. ;) His Words are the joy and rejoicing of my heart. Going the day without opening the Word of God is like going the day without eating…. So, how many of y’all forget to eat in a day? |????*Raise your hand*| Ahem… I will be the first to admit, I have never had a day when I forgot to eat… ever. When it comes to my day, I always say “but first breakfast”! ;) It must be the same when it comes to nourishing our spirits with God’s Word. I guess you could call God’s Word “soul food”. ;) Proverbs 4:20-22 says, “Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are LIFE unto those that find them, and HEALTH to all their flesh.” and in Matthew 4:4 Jesus Christ declares “But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by EVERY WORD that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.“ God’s Words are LIFE & HEALTH. Just as we need food to nourish us physically, we need God’s Word to nourish us spiritually. If we neglect it, we will become spiritually malnourished!
“The Bible contains the mind of God. The Bible states the state of man, the way of salvation, the doom of sinners and the happiness of the believer. Read it to be wise; believe it to be saved, practice it to be holy. It is the traveler’s map, the pilgrim’s path, the pilot’s compass and the soldier’s sword…. Christ is its grand subject, our good its design, and the glory of God its end. It should fill the memory, rule the heart and guide the feet. Read it slowly; read it frequently and read it prayerfully.”
God’s WORD is the only word that promises never to return void[Is 55:11]. In need of wisdom? Open God’s Word and it will instruct you. Seeking God’s will? God’s Word will reveal it. Looking for words of hope, promises, and peace? Or perhaps even correction, reproof, instruction, and doctrine[2 Tim 3:16]? Find all in the HOLY inerrant Word of God! The Bible is the living, breathing WORD[Heb 4:12] of our Savior. God’s Word is your shield, your light… It is TRUTH! His WORD is eternal[Ps 119:89]. If you have neglected to open God’s Word and read it today, you will find yourself spiritually starving. So, have you found God’s Words and eaten them? You will find them to be sweeter than honey in the honeycomb[Ps 19] + the joy and rejoicing of your heart! Just as you feed your body to give it the energy needed for the day, feast on the Word that you may be spiritually filled and nourished! God’s Word is food for the soul! That is my random midnight musing.???? Happy Wednesday y’all!♥
