We feast at Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter.
We feast at weddings and celebrations.
We tend to think of feasting only
as it pertains to food.
Feasting does involve food.
But there are two types of food ~
Physical and Spiritual.
What is Spiritual food?
What does it mean to feast on God's Word?
HOW do we feast on the Bible?
After all, the Bible says ~
"...Man shall not live by bread alone,
but by every word that proceedeth out
of the mouth of God."
Matthew 4:4
We will eventually die physically if we do not eat.
But more importantly, we will die spiritually
if we do not "eat" of the Word.
"And Jesus said unto them,
I am the bread of life:
he that cometh to me shall never hunger;
and he that believeth on me shall never thirst."
John 6:35
Only by taking the LORD at HIS Word
can we truly be saved.
And only when we are saved
can we truly FEAST.
How?
Daily.
Routinely.
Thoughtfully.
Prayerfully.
Often.
And only by the Holy Spirit is any of this possible.
We cannot *know* anything apart from HIM.
HE opens our eyes that we might see.
Feasting on the Word.
Reading it.
Memorizing it.
Meditating on it.
Praying through it.
Living it.
Until it becomes part of who we are.
Until we cannot help but share it.
May the LORD enable each of us
to truly FEAST.
Many Blessings,
Camille
