Are You Eating?

We are nearing the end of the first month of 2020!  And no matter how busy we may be, we seem to find time to eat, even if it's only a quick drive-thru at McDonald's --- and I imagine that most of us have eaten until we were well filled and satisfied!
But then I thought about God's Holy Word -- have we taken time in the first month of this year to feed our souls on the wonderful words of Life, or are we starving spiritually ?
God's Word is such a blessed lamp for our feet and light for our path -- let us determine that we will not allow leanness to our souls because of neglecting to feed on God's Word!  In fact, let's take time right now to feast our souls on these verses from the 139th Psalm.

     "O Lord, Thou hast searched me, and known me.
      Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, Thou understandest my thought afar off.
      Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.
      For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O Lord, Thou knowest it altogether.
      Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid Thine hand upon me.
      I will praise Thee: for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are Thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.  
      How precious also are Thy thoughts unto me, O God!  how great is the sum of them!
      If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake I am still with Thee.
      Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:
      And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting."

May God bless you as we take time to feed our souls from God's blessed and Holy Word!
