LASTING NOURISHMENT... READ: PSALM 119: 33-40 Verse 33, 37: Teach me, O Lord, the way of Your statutes... Revive me in Your way... DO YOU REMEMBER WHAT your pastor spoke about 8 weeks ago? Probably not. After all, its been a while. But does that mean it wasnt a valuable message or that it was a waste of your time to hear Gods Word being preached? Absolutely not! Especially if we see Gods Word and its teaching as a source of keeping us alive spiritually. Pro baseball player Shawn Boskie learned this truth while talking with a fellow Christian, Mark Dewey. Mark asked me if I remembered what I had for lunch the 13th of last month, and I told him I couldnt remember. He said, But did it nourish you? I said, Yes, I guess it did. Boskie got Deweys point. I think thats the way Gods Word is, Shawn concluded. It nourishes us even though we may not be able to remember exactly what it was we read. The Word of God is indeed nourishment, and it comes to us from various sources: preaching, music that glorifies and praises God, and Bible-based literature, to list a few. We need to continually feed our souls - not so we can remember facts, but so we can grow stronger. You may not recall all the details of each spiritual meal, but one thing is sure: Its lasting nourishment for your soul.... ONE MARK OF A WELL-FED SOUL IS A WELL-READ BIBLE....
