WHAT KEEPS YOU GOING?

"Your words are what sustain me. They bring me great joy and are
my heart's delight, for I bear your name, O Lord God Almighty.
(Jeremiah 15:16 NLT)

"i will write down these things as a testimony of what the Lord
will do. I will entrust it to my disciples, who will pass it down
to future generations.
(Isaiah 8:16 NLT)

"For I have stayed in God's paths; I have followed his ways and
not turned aside. I have not departed from his commands but
have treasured his word in my heart.
(Job 23:11-12 NLT)


Our bodies originated in the soil of Eden. It should not surprise us that they are sustained by food that grows from the soil. Every source of food ultimately finds its nourishment in the soil, and that nourishment sustains our bodies.

Likewise, our souls were created by the breath of God in Eden; it should not surprise us that the Word of God, which is inspired, or "God breathed," sustains our souls. If we plan to eat food each day to keep our body alive, shouldn't we also plan to feast on God's Word each day to sustain our soul?
