In order to thrive in our Christian journey we need to make sure that we are feeding ourselves with the Word. We need to take in the Word regularly to avoid being malnourished. The Word is our water, milk, bread and meat of our spiritual life.
How do we take in this food?
We can:
- Listen to the Word – hear it being read
- Read the Word – see it on the page
- Write down our thoughts on the Word – keep a journal
- Reflect on the Word in our thoughts - meditate
- Remember the Word in your heart - memorise it
Unlike physical food, the more we take in of the Word, the hungrier we become. How are you doing with your intake of the Word – is there something you plan to do going forward to make sure you take in more food from the Word?
"Let the word of Christ dwell in your richly." Colossians 3:16
Heavenly Father, thank you for providing me with your Word to guide me – help me to feed regularly on your Word and apply it to my life.
In Jesus name. Amen.
Memory Verse: Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path.
Psalm 119:105 [TNIV]
