“Your words were found and I ate them, And Your words became for me a joy and the delight of my heart; For I have been called by Your name, O Lord God of hosts.” Jeremiah 15:16 (NASB)
Jeremiah, a prophet of God delivered many messages to the people which God gave to him. But, Jeremiah also spoke to God on his own behalf as we have in today's passage. We believe that these words were recorded for our benefit and are intended to teach us the attitude that we should have when God speaks to us through the Bible. God speaks to us in many ways and each time we receive His word, it is like receiving food, spiritual food for our spiritual life. Why would the words from the Bible be so good for us? Because they bring joy and delight to our heart for they are the Words of God and the Promises of God. God has called each of us by His name to a life of worship and praise and sharing His truth. May we learn to develop a hunger for His Word today, it is good for our soul.
