JEREMIAH 15:16
Do you share my passion of food? I would eat more frequently than I should if it were up to me, even though it would be detrimental to my health. So it is good that my wife lovingly reminds me to consume the proper kinds of foods in the right amounts.
I wonder if I consume God’s Word with the same zeal, love, and frequency as Jeremiah did when he said that he ate the words of God when he found them (even the words of God’s judgment).
Jeremiah obviously did not eat God’s Word. It was his method of expressing that he read it and enjoyed it deeply. The written word is heart food! When we consume it, the Holy Spirit gives us the strength to help us become more like Jesus. His Word changes the way we view things like money, enemies, careers, families, etc. To put it another way, it is really beneficial to us.
So, indulge yourself in God’s Word to the fullest! It is likely that you will find yourself in agreement with the prophet Jeremiah.
We will get healthier as we feast on God’s Word more frequently.
🙏🏼Lord, cultivate in us an appetite for Your Word.
