Thematic Bible: Food for the soul
Thematic Bible
The word of God » Despised by the foolish » Food for the soul
How sweet are your words to my taste! Sweeter than honey to my mouth!
He humbled you (allowed you to suffer) with hunger and then fed you with manna. Neither you nor your fathers had seen this before. He did this to teach you that a person cannot live on bread alone but must live on all (everything) (every word) that proceeds from the mouth of Jehovah.
Like newborn infants, long for the spiritual milk that is without deception to help you grow to salvation.
In reply Jesus answered: It is written; man shall not live on bread alone, but on all (everything) (every word) (every utterance) (every declaration) that proceeds from the mouth of Jehovah. (Deuteronomy 8:3)
I have not departed from the command of his lips. I have treasured the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.
You spoke to me, and I listened to every word. I belong to you, Lord Jehovah. Your words filled my heart with joy and happiness.
But you, son of man, listen to what I say. Do not be rebellious like those rebellious people. Open your mouth and eat what I give you.
Jehovah said to me: Son of man, eat what you find. Eat this scroll. Then speak to the people of Israel.
