I don’t like to invite people over to my house without food, because I just assume that people are always hungry, and a good hostess never wants her guests to be hungry. Now the host doesn’t always have to cook a big meal. You can cater, order in, or provide light snacks, just as long as your guests have something to eat to satisfy any hunger they may have.
As we invite Jesus into the homes of our hearts, we have the beautiful opportunity to dine with Him. How do we actually and practically dine with God? We study his Word. Jesus tells us:
“But he answered, “It is written, “‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.” (Matthew 4:4 ESV)
Have you ever had a bad day and things just were not going right, but then you received a word from God and it changed everything? You saw a scripture that just really spoke to you, or you heard a sermon that really touched your heart. It was a word that you know was from God. It just changed everything. That is what dining with Christ will do.
That’s what happens when we open our Bibles. We open it, and open our heart even more to hear from God. It’s life changing. Today, I encourage you to spend time with God by opening His Word and feasting on His promises.
Prayer: Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for Your Word that encourages me, gives wisdom, and uplifts my spirit. Please help me to hunger more for Your Word. In Jesus Christ’s Name, I pray, Amen.
