The coldness of the snow has probably made the deer’s appetite keener, and it must have whatever food is provided for it.
We, too, are like the deer in one respect. Those of us who have trusted in the Lord Jesus Christ as our Saviour, have a new nature which is not at ease in this world which has been so filled with the effects of sin. We are hungry and need to feed upon Christ, “the bread of life.”
When we read in God’s Word about Christ and meditate on Him, we feed upon Christ and our souls are thus fed with spiritual food, and we grow to be strong in the Lord.
It is more important that we give our souls good, wholesome food every day, than to feed our bodies. Let us not starve our precious souls, but feast continually on that heavenly Food that always brings with it great strength, blessing and joy.
“I AM THE LIVING BREAD WHICH CAME DOWN FROM HEAVEN: IF ANY MAN EAT OF THIS BREAD, HE SHALL LIVE FOREVER.” John 6:51.
