Regular nourishment for the soul is vital for the Christian life, just as physical food is for the body. Man is both physical and spiritual, which is why spiritual food is just as important as physical nourishment. This spiritual food is “every word that comes from the mouth of God” God has spoken to us in His Word, the Bible. His Word imparts life (John 6:63).

The Bible often speaks of the spiritual food we need: God’s Word provides milk (1 Peter 2:2); it is meat (1 Corinthians 3:2) and bread (John 6:35); and it is sweeter than honey (Psalm 119:103). Scripture is not something merely to study or read but to be “eaten” by God’s people. We read the Word, but we then pause to “chew on it” a while, meditating and reflecting on the meaning and application of what we’ve read (Psalm 1:1–3).

We need spiritual food— the Word of God, we need to do the will of God, and we need Jesus Himself.  So lets us humbly accept the word of God which is able to save our souls. (James 1:21)
