Day 226 – Food for the Soul.
Today’s Reading: Ezekiel 2 – 6
Ezekiel 3:1-3 “And he said to me, “Son of man, eat what is before you, eat this scroll; then go and speak to the people of Israel.” So I opened my mouth, and he gave me the scroll to eat. Then he said to me, “Son of man, eat this scroll I am giving you and fill your stomach with it.” So I ate it, and it tasted as sweet as honey in my mouth.”
My family is 100 percent a bunch of foodies. Our schedules, birthdays, and holidays all revolve around what, where, and when we’re going to eat. Even deciding on a vacation depends on the places they have to eat. This morning my daughter woke me up asking if I’d like French toast for breakfast. When dinner comes right when I get back from the grocery store, I know someone will ask where we’re going to eat tonight. And as I’m tucking into bed this evening, I know I’ll already be thinking of yogurt and porridge in the morning.
We live and breath food, and due to this issue we have to watch our focus on foods importance over the Word of God. Honestly, the Word of the Lord should fill us before anything else. It should be what gets us going in the morning: mind, body, and soul.
Whenever I wake, even if I’m running extremely behind or up early to run, God’s Word has to come before feeding my belly. God’s got to always be first in my life and I want Him to know it. He is able to fill me more than any food ever will. His Word is the best food for my soul, it enriches my mind, it’s sweeter than Honey, and moves me to action. We should eat of it every day, knowing it will sustain us and grow us into exactly who Christ wants us to be.
