The word of God is like Food for our soul

If we indeed desire to see growth as Christians we must daily feed on the word of God. Like  a newborn baby depends on liquid diet to nourish his or her body. If you
know anything about babies, you know they require regular
feeding!

It's not just a quick reading of the Word that you need. You
must chew the Word to get the "milk" out of it. This just means
you need to meditate on God's Word to get all that you should
from it. You can't just gulp it down quickly and expect to
receive all its nutrition. It takes some time and effort to
think on the Word and digest it, so that it becomes a part of
us.

The food we take into our physical bodies does not nourish us
unless we properly digest and assimilate it into our cells.
Spiritual food is the same. The Word you read has to "become
flesh" in you. It has to become part of you. As it nourishes
you, it will change you by changing the way you see yourself
and the way you see others.

It is possible to study the Word and not believe it, not
personalize it, and not internalize it. This type of mental
study does not feed your spirit.

Personalizing the Word and speaking it, helps us digest the
Word so it becomes part of us. This, along with thinking and
seeing in agreement with the Word.

We are the children of the living God. We have what God says we have.
We can do what God says we can do. We must believe whatever God has said about us, simply because we know that God can not lie. 

 But He answered and said, "It is written, 'Man shall not live
by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth
of God.'" (Matthew 4:4)

Matthew 4:4 shows us that God's Word somehow sustains life, as
does bread in the physical realm. But we need more than
physical food to enjoy life as God intended. God's Word is our
spiritual food which will enrich our life. 


 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of
God. (Romans 10:17)
God's Word produces faith in our hearts and renews our minds.
It is vital for our spiritual growth. God's Word is like food for our souls.




Tell me did you pray today? Did you pray before you laid your head down to sleep?
Did you read the word of God before you went to sleep last night? Or did you raise up early this morning to fall down and worship God?  Did you read his word this morning?  Do you read the word of God to your spouse? Do you share the word of God with your children nightly?
Based on these question are you fat on the word or are you starving to death?
