| 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). |
