I ate some cold left over Italian sausage and spinach pizza
yesterday…and it was so tasty—absolutely scrumptious! I so enjoyed it so much
that just thinking about it now makes my mouth water. Some things taste great
when they are freshly baked and then even better when they’ve “aged.” Pizza is
one of those things—but I could eat pizza just about any time of day…any day! What
is your favorite pizza topping? Mine is pesto sauce topped with garlic chicken,
artichoke hearts and spinach. Adding some sun dried tomatoes makes it even more
tasty…along with some feta cheese.
So we could feast on pizza any day…and on God’s word as
well. Jesus tells us that He is the bread of life—who God sent down from Heaven
to give us life. Life abundantly. There are so many verses about life in the
Bible—actually 554 times in the NASB translation. But you can find every
conceivable topic as you search through any concordance electronic search. Since
the Bible is living it continues to speak in a fresh way... For the word of God is living and active and
sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul
and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and
intentions of the heart. Hebrews 4:12. So what is your favorite scripture?
What speaks to your heart today?
This year has gone by so very quickly—only three more days
left. Only three days left this year to gather around the Banquet Table with
The King and feast on His Word. Only three more days and my goal of a year—365 days,
well actually 366 days—of writing daily devotionals for my family…and friends.
This has been a special year of real quality time spent with Lord every
morning. Focusing—and feasting—on God’s word just puts me in the best frame of
mind. So looking back over this year, I can say that I have had a good year. I’ve
found that sometimes I spend too much time writing this blog…too much time. How
can that be?? Well—it is necessary to do other things like cooking, cleaning
and spending time with other people. I’ve neglected that sometimes…and my husband
can do a pretty good job of cooking breakfast. Actually he had made some good
sausage from scratch this fall. There is really no better thing in life than to
spend time with the Lord—but once again I am admonished to be a doer of the
word…But prove yourselves doers of the
word, and not merely hearers who delude themselves. For if anyone is a hearer
of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his natural face in a
mirror; for once he has looked at himself and gone away, he has immediately forgotten
what kind of person he was. James 1:22-24. So may I challenge you to be
doers of the word, too? Whatever scripture is speaking to your heart, may you
not only listen intently, but apply it to your life and in obedience to the
Lord, reach out to others.
Lord, As I feast on Your
word, I hear You speaking to me…help me to be obedient.
