God's word is the Bread of Life In spiritual reference this world is like a desert. The heavenly manna we have to live on is God's word. Jesus is the Word. John 1:1-5. He is the living bread that came down from heaven. John 6:32-35, 47-59. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever. Psalm 23:5-6. The prophet Jeremiah said, "Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart ... " Jeremiah 15:16. God's word is the pure health food. Be frank and push you forward. It is the Lord who invites you to his plentiful ready laid table. He has richly blessing to all who call on him. Rom. 10:12. The manna in the desert tasted like wafers made with honey, as the taste of fresh oil. Exodus 16:31. Numbers 11:8. The heavenly manna, which is God's word, is also very good. It is sweeter than honey. Psalm 119:103. The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes. The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring for ever: the judgements of the Lord are true and righteous together. More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. Moreover, by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward. Psalm 19:8-11. Though the people of Israel were allowed to eat of the good manna, they grumbled yet. They were rebellious and longing back to Egypt. So it is also now. Though the heavenly manna, God's words, is the absolute best spiritual food and taste superb, there are many who are peevish and rebellious. They are not at all happy about the Lord's commands. For them the rock of salvation has been a rock that makes them fall. Rom. 9:33. 1 Peter 2:4-8. ______________________________ WE
