Your words were found and I ate them, and Your words became for me a joy and the delight of my heart; for I have been called by Your name. ~ Jeremiah 15:16.
I have not departed from the commandment of His lips; I have treasured the words of His mouth more than my necessary food ~ Job 23:12. Oh what a wonderful picture – feeding on God’s Word and finding Joy and Delight in our hearts; Treasuring God’s word more than necessary food!
Do you treasure God’s word? We need to be fed spiritually just as we need to be fed physically. We need to be walking close to the Lord, being in His word daily, communicating with Him daily, pursuing a deep personal relationship with Him!
My friend as you delight in God’s word, reflect on what it is saying. Don’t just rush through the scripture, meditate on it. Before you start reading, ask God to reveal what He wants you to learn through it; and then obey what it says. The more we spend in God’s word the more we will be equipped to handle any circumstance that comes our way and we won’t fall apart. Be blessed my friend as you feast on God’s word!
