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)  Bread (Deuteronomy 8:3; Job 23:12);

Sweeter than honey (Psalm 119:103).

​

Jeremiah writes, “When your words came, I ate them; they were my joy and my heart’s delight, for I bear your name, LORD God Almighty” (Jeremiah 15:16).

Scripture’s use of food metaphors demonstrates the importance of studying, learning, and applying: to metabolize into the mentality of our soul God’s Word.
