Yesterday I had the "munchies". I wanted something salty, so I grabbed a handful of potato chips. Then I wanted something sweet, so I grabbed some candy. I pretty much snacked my way right through the day. Do you ever have days like that, or am I the only one?
Days like that are not a good thing. Not good for my waistline or for my nutrition.
Unfortunately, there are many people who approach God's Word in that same way, with a "snacking mentality." Just grabbing a snack here or there, but never sitting down for a full meal. They have a quick verse here or a devotional thought there. And just as a quick snack is not good for proper nutrition of the physical body, neither is a quick snack of Scripture adequate for proper nutrition for the spirit.
If my body's nourishment comes only from snacks, I will be malnourished. How much more this is for spiritual nourishment!
When was the last time you sat down for a good "meal" of Scripture?
"I have not departed from the command of His lips; I have treasured the words of His mouth more than my necessary food." (Job 23:12 NASB)
