NO APPETITE

READ:
Nehemiah 8:1-12

As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:
-1 Peter 2:2

THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
Genesis 4-6
Matthew 2

When I was battling a bad cold recently, I lost my appetite. I could go through an entire day without eating much food. Water would suffice. But I knew I couldn't survive long on water alone. I needed to regain my appetite because my body needed nourishment.
When the people of Israel came back from exile in Babylon, their spiritual appetite was weak. They had departed from God and His ways. To get the people back to spiritual health, Nehemiah organised a Bible seminar, and Ezra was the teacher.
Ezra read from the book of the law of Moses from morning until midday feeding the people with the truth of God .
When we feel estranged from God or spiritually weak, we can find spiritual nourishment from God's Word. "As new-born babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby" (1 Peter 2:2). Ask God to give you a renewed desire for relationship with Him, and begin feeding your heart, soul, and mind with His Word. - Poh Fang Chia
Break Thou the Bread of life, dear Lord, to me,
As Thou didst break the loaves beside the sea;
Beyond the sacred page I seek Thee, Lord,
My spirit pants for Thee, O living Word. - Lathbury

Feeding on God's Word keeps us strong and healthy in the Lord.

JESUS IN YOUR BOAT

No doubt, life in a sense is like the sea. A characteristic of the sea is that storms of varying degrees arise, putting the lives of those sailing on it in jeopardy of being drowned. In Jesus' Name, the storms of life will not be able to drown you, your family and your business. While literal storms are natural...More
