Well-Fed
Someone sent me this saying in an email the other day. I thought I’d pass it along as it has a very thought-provoking message.
“A well-read Bible is a sign of a well-fed soul.”
The Lord Jesus said, “I am the bread of life … This is the bread that came down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die. I am the living bread which came down from heaven … He that eateth My flesh, and drinketh My blood, dwelleth in Me, and I in him” (John 6:48, 50-51, 56).
To read the Word of God is to feed on Christ, and to feed on Christ is to have the hunger of the inner man satisfied.
Here are two examples of well-fed believers in the Old Testament:
Job: “Neither have I gone back from the commandment of His lips; I have esteemed the words of His mouth more than my necessary food” (Job 23:12).
Jeremiah:“Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and Thy Word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart” (Jeremiah 15:16).
