Today’s Devotion
Topic: Eat The Word Now!
Text: Amos 8:11-12
“The days are coming,” declares the Sovereign Lord, “when I will send a famine through the land— not a famine of food or a thirst for water, but a famine of hearing the words of the Lord. People will stagger from sea to sea and wander from north to east, searching for the word of the Lord, but they will not find it. Amen
Hunger has never been a good thing. Truth be told, many have been lured into evil simply because of a need for food. Famine, simply defined, is the wide spread of extreme hunger.
When God delivered Israel from their slavery in Egypt, hunger made them wish they had remained slaves rather.
We have made striving efforts as humans to ensure our bodies are well fed but we have left the soul to fend for ITSELF. The word of God is food for the soul but sadly that is the difficult part of feeding many Christians are not able to do.
Since we have despised the WORD of GOD and have given it little importance, He says one day, He Jehovah, shall bring about a famine; extreme hunger. A hunger not for food, but for the Word of God that brings salvation.
Therefore…”Seek the Lord while He may be found; call on Him while He is near” (Isaiah 55:6). Feed your soul with the WORD as often as you desire to feed your flesh with physical food. One day, everyone will realize that the only thing that mattered was God. Don’t wait to find out that it is indeed true. Remember man is not to live by bread alone but also by every word that comes from God.
It is another Sunday. Draw nearer to His presence and feed on His word while you have the chance to. It will be a lamp to your feet and a light to your path. You will NEVER miss your way in life! See you at church.
