Today's Reading: Jeremiah 15
Sometimes people say, "You’re going to eat your
words," This is a curious phrase, meaning you’ll regret something you said
and have to take your words back. When Jeremiah says he “ate” God’s words, he
is alluding to something completely different. He is acknowledging that the
Bible is not merely a book, but is the living, breathing revelation of God's
heart and wisdom and that it has supernatural power that is able to nourish his soul.
The metaphor of "eating" God's words symbolizes
a deep, personal engagement with and consumption of Scripture. Just as physical
nourishment sustains our bodies, consuming God's Word spiritually nourishes our
souls. As Jesus told us, "Man
shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of
God." (Matthew 4:4)
Take intentional steps to feast on God's Word daily.
Open your Bible with a hungry heart, seeking the Holy Spirit’s anointing as you
seek to understand and apply its truths. As you read, meditate on the verses,
allowing them to permeate your thoughts and actions. Let the joy found in God's
Word become the daily nourishment of your soul.
In a world filled with distractions and challenges,
remember that God's Word is your sustenance. Delight in the Scriptures, for
they are your source of joy, strength, and wisdom. Approach the Bible not as a
duty, but as a privilege—a divine invitation to feast on the revelation of God
and to know the very heart of your Creator. As you make God's Word a priority,
you'll find that it transforms your perspective, renewing your mind and guiding
your steps.
Let the Scriptures become "a lamp to your feet
and a light to your path" (Psalm 119:105). Just as Jeremiah found
delight and great joy in God’s words, may your journey be marked by the joyous
discovery and application of God's timeless truths.
