Good Morning Dear ones:
Growing up on a nursery has its advantages. As kids, we could walk out our door and pick from a variety of fruits to snack on. Mangos, oranges, and starfruits, were all there for eating. All we had to do was go outside and enjoy them.
As I was enjoying a tangerine yesterday, I thought how like a piece of fruit is our Bible. In order to enjoy the fruit and obtain nourishment from it, I had to open the skin. The same idea applies to our Bibles. In order to enjoy the fruit of the Bible and obtain spiritual nourishment, we need to open it. I can tell you all day long how wonderful that fruit is going to taste but until you open it up and taste it, you cannot get enjoyment from it.
Our Bibles are the living word of God. He feeds us from His word and helps us understand Him. The sweetness of His love is realized when we crack open the cover and read it.
Matthew 4:4 (ESV)
4 But he answered, “It is written,
“‘Man shall not live by bread alone,
but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”
“‘Man shall not live by bread alone,
but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”
Have a Blessed day everyone:
SJ
