The Healthiest Food!
"Your words were found, and I ate them, and
Your word was to me the joy and rejoicing of
my heart; for I am called by Your name,
O Lord God of hosts."
Jeremiah 15: 16
Researchers at William Paterson University in New Jersey
studied 41 types of healthy fruits and vegetables and came
up with what they called “the healthiest food in the world.”
The Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention agreed.
It’s watercress. Who would have thought?
There’s no question about the healthiest food
for the mind. It’s the manna of God’s Word.
The prophet Jeremiah, it was survival food.
He said, “When I discovered your words, I devoured them.
They are my joy and my heart’s delight, for I bear your
name, O Lord God of Heaven’s Armies” (Jeremiah 15:16).
Spiritual hunger is required for growth. That hunger
spurs us on to discipleship and walking with God. We
need constant intake of Scripture for our inner nutrition.
Ask the
Lord today to ignite that hunger within you;
then find God’s words and devour them. They will
strengthen you with joy and rejoicing.
"The Bible is like food for the inner person. It is milk
(1 Peter 2:2), solid food (Hebrews 5:11-14), bread
(Matthew 4:4), and
honey (Psalm 19:9-10)."
