Day 42: Jesus, Your Word Satisfies My Soul

Have you ever eaten a meal and you still experienced hunger pangs long after the last bite? The Lord lays out a feast for us in His Word. And while our hunger for His Word grows and grows, our heart is satisfied every time we enjoy its delicacies. We are to let the word of Christ richly dwell in us (Colossians 3:16). That means we must eat extravagantly from its treasure. I enjoy meals from the psalms almost every day. And then, using the Daily Light devotional, I have an appetizer of related verses on particular topics. Using one of my devotional Bibles and a current Bible study, I feast at great length in a particular passage of Scripture. And then, there is always that one verse that I carry with me as takeout, enjoying it moment by moment throughout the day. So today, are you hungry? Be a Jeremiah, who said, “Your words were found, and I ate them, and your words became to me a joy and the delight of my heart, for I am called by your name, O LORD, God of hosts” (Jeremiah 15:16).

My Response: Lord Jesus, thank You today for the rich delicacy of Your Word. I am going to enjoy this feast through the day. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
