When your words came, I ate them; they were my joy and my heart’s delight, for I bear your name, LORD God Almighty.
Julia Bettencourt on “Soul Food On My Table” asked a common question which many people are probably used to, according to her it’s amazing how some folks react when you mention the words “soul food” to those people who really enjoy it. They get that longing in their eyes. Their mouths begin watering, and they begin to use wonderful descriptive words to describe the flavor, aroma, and taste of it. They get excited about the mere mention of “soul food”.
The question was asked by her this way, “do we get that way when we hear the mere mention of God’s Word, the Bible? It is our soul food and yet how many of us get as excited over that as some people do over cornbread, collard greens, or fried green tomatoes?”
“Thy words were found, and I did eat them;
and thy word was unto me the joy
and rejoicing of mine heart…” Jeremiah 15:16
“As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word that ye may grow thereby:” 1 Peter 2:2
