Hiya Kathy and Happy Lord’s Day to you! 65 and sunny my way, how ya doing? God Bless you and yours!
Read: Jeremiah 15:15-21
I love food! I love to see it beautifully presented, and I love to savor the taste. If it were up to me, I would eat more often than I shouldalthough it wouldnt help my waistline! So, its a good thing my wife, Martie, knows when to lovingly remind me to eat healthful foods in the right amount.
Reading Jeremiahs interesting thoughtthat when he found the words of God (even the words of Gods judgment) he ate them (Jer. 15:16)makes me wonder if I ingest Gods Word as eagerly, as lovingly, and as often.
Clearly, Jeremiah did not actually eat Gods Word. It was his way of saying that he read and savored it in his innermost being. And thats exactly where Gods Word is intended to go. The Word is heart food! When we ingest it, the Holy Spirit provides the power to help us grow to be more like Jesus. His Word transforms how we think about God, money, enemies, careers, and family. In other words, its really good for us.
So, eat Gods Word to your hearts content! No doubt you will find yourself agreeing with the prophet Jeremiah when he said: Your word was to me the joy and rejoicing of my heart (15:16).
Shavua Tov.
Wishing all our Jewish troops, veterans, families, allies, friends, and Canteeners
a peaceful and prosperous week.
Martin Luther King had a dream. I think that things are starting to change. I pray that the things he dreamed of will come to be.
