Job 23:12 - Value Of Spiritual Food.
Job 23:12 (NIV) I have not departed from the
commands of his lips; I have treasured the words of
his mouth more than my daily bread.
Job 23:12 (NLT) I have not departed from his
commands, but have treasured his words more than daily
food.
COMMENTARY PEARL
Blessed By The Word
The Word of God gives life to everything.
The Word of God nourishes our souls. We are told
to desire the pure milk of the Word - it
enables us to grow (1 Peter 2:2).
The Word of God is to be obeyed. "But
those who obey God's word truly show how
completely they love him. That is how we know we are
living in him" (1 John 2:5 NLT).
The Word of God provides fellowship with
Him. The story is told of a young lady who was
given a new novel, but she thought it was the
driest thing she'd ever read. Some months later she
met a young man and fell in love. His name had
seemed familiar to her, and when she picked up the
novel again, she discovered that he had written
the book. She began reading it again and
couldn't put it down.
What made the difference? She had fallen
in love with the author. When we fully realize
who is speaking to us in the Word, we will look
at it differently too.
Do you think of the Bible as a book
written by someone you love? [Peace for Each Day by
Billy Graham]
