Deuteronomy
8:3. “...............real life comes by
feeding on every word of the Lord.”
One translation of the word
“feed” is “to devour”. How often have we
“devoured” the word of God or the Bible?
When my brother was studying
to obtain his degree in theology, one of his many tasks was to write a summary
of every chapter in the entire Bible.
When I have a question that I cannot find the answer to, pertaining to
scripture, I ask him. I am always amazed
by his knowledge of biblical content. I am
sure his study did not end with that assignment but that is how it began; which
in turn spurned his interest and thirst for more knowledge, motivating him to
pursue God’s Word further. As he
studied, God opened new revelations and blessed him by enabling him to a
further and deeper understanding of spiritual truths.
To delve into God’s Word also
reinforces our relationship with Christ thereby allowing us to experience
“real” life! To feed on the Word of God
enables us to fully abide, to become all that God intended us to be, not on our
own strength but by his power that brings us to the peace that leads to “real
life”!
Prayer for
today: Heavenly Father, I long for a
deep thirst for your Word. Give me an
unquenchable thirst that motivates me to study and search. Your Word has the
answers to all of life’s difficult questions and the real meaning of life.
Thank you, Lord, for giving us your Word.
Help me to be a child of God who knows Christ on a personal basis and
understands “real life”. In Jesus name,
Amen.
