Feeding on the Word of God

Today at Easter service God spoke to me these things. Like Joshua and Caleb who believed in God, we must spend our time wandering through this world with our eyes on the promise that God has given us. Then, like Caleb, we are to treasure and boldly claim the Lord’s promises to us. Caleb wandered with the rest of the Israelites in the desert for forty years and still at eighty-five he had that fire for the land that God had promised to him through Moses.

Also, God provided the people with manna every morning which they gathered up to feed them throughout the day. That is how we are supposed to gather up the word in the morning, working at it and being purposeful about it as the Israelites were in gathering their manna. Then we are to use what we have stored up in the day to feed us throughout the rest of the day. Then, doing the same thing the next day just as the Israelites had to gather manna the next morning because the manna lasted only for the day.
