EATING GOD’S WORD

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

I recently heard a story about a blind girl in France who got saved many years ago. She was given a braille Bible and she “read” it everyday hour upon hour. She loved her Bible. After several years, she developed calluses on her fingertips and could no longer feel the braille. It became useless to her, so she picked it up to kiss it good-bye. As kissed her Bible, she felt the braille letters on her lips. She then learned to read her Bible with her lips and the for rest of her life she “ate” the Word of God.

May we all feast upon God’s Word every day. It is the nourishment for our soul. “I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food” (Job 23:12).
