We all know as the children of the Most High God the benefits of being in His Word, but from time to time we need a reminder. Jesus Christ Himself stated that “Man does not live on bread alone, but from every word that comes from the mouth of God”. The Word of God to us is more precious than the bread we eat to stay alive. Well, if we care that much for our natural flesh which as Paul said “produces no good thing”, how much more should we feed our Spirit, which is the gift from a Loving Father and came from the obedience of a Loving Son. We once thought that our lives were our own and we wanted to preserve this life to do our own will. Then we learned that we really cannot live our own lives, we either live in obedience unto the law of death which is unto Satan or unto the law of life which is unto God. We choose to either eat from the tree of “Life” which produces eternal life through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (which was the eating of his flesh) or from the tree of “The Knowledge of Good and Evil”, which as God said to Adam “You will surely die”. We know now that our temples are not our own and it was bought at a price for righteousness. Our bread eating today is to only keep the natural temple strong and able for the Holy Spirit to do the work of God, in and through us. If it is recommended to eat three meals a day to keep the natural body strong, how much more should the Spiritual body eat a day??? We all have to see the importance of feeding our Spirit Man, the only nourishment that can sustain Him is the Word of God!!! Have a wonderful life of enjoying the Word on purpose!!!!!
Psalm 119
89 Your word, O LORD, is eternal;
it stands firm in the heavens.
90 Your faithfulness continues through all generations;
you established the earth, and it endures.
91 Your laws endure to this day,
for all things serve you.
92 If your law had not been my delight,
I would have perished in my affliction.
93 I will never forget your precepts,
for by them you have preserved my life.
94 Save me, for I am yours;
I have sought out your precepts.
95 The wicked are waiting to destroy me,
but I will ponder your statutes.
96 To all perfection I see a limit;
but your commands are boundless.
97 Oh, how I love your law!
I meditate on it all day long.
98 Your commands make me wiser than my enemies,
for they are ever with me.
99 I have more insight than all my teachers,
for I meditate on your statutes.
100 I have more understanding than the elders,
for I obey your precepts.
101 I have kept my feet from every evil path
so that I might obey your word.
102 I have not departed from your laws,
for you yourself have taught me.
103 How sweet are your words to my taste,
sweeter than honey to my mouth!
104 I gain understanding from your precepts;
therefore I hate every wrong path.
105 Your word is a lamp to my feet
and a light for my path.
106 I have taken an oath and confirmed it,
that I will follow your righteous laws.
107 I have suffered much;
preserve my life, O LORD, according to your word.
108 Accept, O LORD, the willing praise of my mouth,
and teach me your laws.
109 Though I constantly take my life in my hands,
I will not forget your law.
110 The wicked have set a snare for me,
but I have not strayed from your precepts.
111 Your statutes are my heritage forever;
they are the joy of my heart.
112 My heart is set on keeping your decrees
to the very end.
