When your Words came, I ate them; they were my joy and my heart’s delight

" When your Words came, I ate them; they were my joy and my heart’s delight " ( Jeremiah 15:16 )

   There are many in this world who still argue that God doesn’t exist. Many believe that God exists, but don’t know the real God. This subject is an unsolved enigma for a great majority in this world. But we are fortunate enough to clearly know that God is revealed in human form, with a human name i.e Jesus Christ, and that there is no other God besides Him.

    We have found eternal salvation in Christ. As Christians what is our chief delight in this world? What should we be looking and striving for? Jeremiah says “they were my joy and my heart’s delight”. The Word of God is the delight of Jeremiah’s heart. That must be the experience and testimony of every Christian believer!

    There can be no greater joy for us than the Word of God. We must begin and end each day with the Word of God. There is nothing more important than God’s Word for us. It is the main attraction for us in the congregation of saints. We attend such gatherings not only to worship our Lord, but also to listen and to meditate upon the Word of God.

   We must receive God’s Word into our hearts in as many ways as possible. We must read the Holy Bible, listen to God’s servants preaching, and so on.

    Jeremiah says “I ate Your Words”! Different people like different kinds of food. But all the children of God in every generation in every country have relished the Word of God above everything.

   God’s Word is our food that nourishes us. It’s our sword when we fight the devil. We see the path we walk in the light of God’s Word only! We do the wisest thing when we spend our time with God’s Word, and commit a very costly mistake when we neglect it. Carry the Bible wherever you go and it will carry you in the times of your troubles and temptations!

    David said “Blessed is the man who….meditates the Law (God’s Word) day and night” (Psalm 1:1). Make it your habit to meditate upon God’s Word day and night. You will see God exalting you in everything you do, wherever you go! Think of God and His Word today and all the days of your life continually. God bless you, have a wonderful day!
