Jeremiah 15:15-21 (Heart Food)

I love food! I love to see it beautifully presented, and I love to savor the taste. If it were up to me, I would eat more often than I should, although it would not help my waistline! So, it is a good thing my wife, Barbara, knows when to lovingly remind me to eat healthful foods in the correct amount.

Reading Jeremiah's interesting thought that when he found the words of God. Makes me wonder if I ingest God"s Word as eagerly, as lovingly, and as often.

Clearly, Jeremiah did not actually eat God's Word. It was his way of saying that he read and savored it in his innermost being. And that is exactly where God's Word is intended to go. The Word is heart food! When we ingest it, the Holy Spirit provides the power to help us grow to be more like Jesus. His Word transforms how we think about God, money, enemies, careers, and family. In other words, it is really good for us.

So, "eat" God's Word to your heart's content! No doubt you will find yourself agreeing with the prophet Jeremiah.
