Through the Bible: JeremiahSample

His Word, My Joy

Your words were found, and I ate them, and your words became to me a joy and the delight of my heart, for I am called by your name, O Lord, God of hosts.

Jeremiah 15:16 (ESV)

Our body needs energy, either for physical or cerebral activities. It is compulsory to feed our body for it to run. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are usually the source of calories for our daily needs. To run our spiritual life, it is the same; we need to feed ourselves with spiritual food in order to maintain and develop our spiritual life as well as to experience the fullness of God. 

How can we get it? Simply by reading the Word of God. The Bible provides us with our spiritual calories for our day. What could be better than starting the day with reading the Bible as breakfast? Like Jeremiah, as we feed ourselves with His words, they bring joy and delight to our hearts.

Prayer

Lord, we thank You for providing our spiritual food through Your words. Lord, please give us greater hunger for Your words every day of our life, and that Your words become the joy of our hearts. In the name of Jesus, Amen.
