Feed Often On the Word of God

11/29/1997

God’s Word in its many forms (written, verbal, Memorex, etc.) could more accurately be compared to FOOD rather than to an academic subject like geometry. After two or more readings, a geometry book is boring and burdensome. You know it now. But FOOD is something you need every day. You may have had chicken two days consecutively. So. Do you not need some food today, even chicken, perhaps? The only time food is boring or burdensome is if we are not HUNGRY due to lack of exercise (not using the food) or filling up on other things. Our enemy says, “You’re full. Eat less.” And then we die. Our Father says, “You’re full. Do my work!” And we live... and flourish. In the natural realm, our ability to function throughout the day and week directly corresponds to our level of food intake (Amen?). How much more in the spirit? Dig in! —ar 12:46 p.m.

Exhortation associated with Andy’s earlier page about the Word of God being FOOD... (Thanks for the page, Andy.) “I already read that,” or “I already did that” is SILLY when you know that His Word is Spiritual FOOD! “I already ate once. What good will it do to eat again?” SILLY, huh?—EAT THE WORD OFTEN IF YOU WANT TO HAVE STRENGTH!!! Don’t feed yourself with His Word? You’ll be too sick to get out of bed!! You need to force yourself to eat if you’re sick and don’t have an appetite!! Do it, and you’ll see the Goodness of God!! 2:46 p.m.
