I started reading "One Thousand Gifts" by Ann Voskamp, she is probably the most talented writer I've ever had the privilege to read. If you read any book this summer, read this one. God's love is real, His love is true, she is living proof.
I also finished Psalms and have read 1/2 of Proverbs, I wish there were more time available to read more. My soul felt so much better than it has in the last few days having read (eaten the Word).
John 1:1-4, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God ,and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being by Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being." This verse is talking about Jesus, who is the Word.
Luke 22:14-20
"When the hour came, Jesus and his apostles reclined at the table. And he said to them, “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. For I tell you, I will not eat it again until it finds fulfillment in the kingdom of God.” After taking the cup, he gave thanks and said, “Take this and divide it among you. For I tell you I will not drink again of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.” And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.” In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you."
We can follow after what Jesus was saying at the "Last Supper" by reading, studying, and living the Bible which is the Word of God, Jesus. I feel so much that I need to dig deeper still. Deep into the Word, learning and washing myself in the truth of God's Great Love. I want more of Him to be filled with Him to constant overflowing. I feel like I'm far from that, I'm so easily distracted by other things that don't really matter at all. How can I be filled more Lord? I sense that He continues to point me to His Word, the Bible, each time I ask. I'm eating the Word... more.
