The other day I heard an encouraging word. It simply asked, “Are we freely eating all that is available to us?” I know that as women we are always conscious of what we are consuming. We want to eat the right things, but not too much, because too much of even a good thing can lead to a negative response from our bodies.
So, what would we do if we could eat nourishing food that had no negative consequence to our health? “Would we eat?” Absolutely, indeed we would! We would partake freely, fully enjoying this wonderful nourishment. Now here is the best part of it all. We can do this very thing, and for our optimum health we really must!
Jesus has declared to us that we must come and eat, and not only eat, we must drink. God is telling us to come into communion with Him, into agreement with His words, and His life giving substance. He is the bread of life, and His Blood is life sustaining. Scripture tells us that with Jesus we will never hunger or thirst. This promise will never leave us wanting, but will fill us to overflowing with all that is good!
Psalm 23:5-6 NKJV You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; my cup runs over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
