Family reunions…great memories. Can you remember getting ready to eat? It seemed that you became more hungry the closer it was “time” to eat! “Like newborn babies you should crave (thirst for, earnestly desire) the pure (unadulterated) spiritual milk, that by it you may be nurtured and grow…” – 1 Peter 2:2 AMP

We need to crave the Word of God as much as we crave good food! We have become experts at natural food. Just look at the restaurants and recipes that abound. (Not to mention all the “healthy” people living off the “fat of the land”…some a little larger than others!) There is no famine or deficient of natural food.

We need to focus on the Word of God, our spiritual food more than our natural food. Jesus said, “Man should not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God!” Some how we have thought that this scripture only applies to Jesus because He said it or something. But He said it because it applies to us. We need more of the Word of God! You can not overdose on the Word. (And it will not cause you to gain weight)

Prepare yourself for your next meal. Feed your appetite for the Word by declaring, “Lord, I love Your Word! Thank You for speaking to us and getting us your Word. Thank You that You feed us everyday and increase that hunger within us to take in more of Your Word!” Ready to eat?
