The Word

Have you ever gone for a long time without eating any food? Maybe you skipped breakfast or left your dinner money at home, and before you know it, you get a bit hangry and quickly realise how much you need those meals and a few snacks here and there! We literally can’t get by without food!

That’s a little like how the Bible talks about how we read it. When we take time to read the Bible, it’s like those daily meals and snacks that feed and nourish our relationship with Jesus. Whether you’ve recently given your life to Jesus or have been following him for years, taking time to read the Bible is one of the main ways we keep our relationship with Jesus healthy and growing. It’s meant to be something that feeds and nourishes us each day.

As Christians, the Bible isn’t just some other book we read, but it’s one of the main ways God speaks to us. It has the power to encourage us when we’re down, challenge us to grow, and guide us in our big and small decisions.

So in the coming days, let's feed ourselves on what God might have to say to us in the Bible and not go hungry!
