Requirement Of Our Spiritual Growth.

And Antibodies To Help Us

Of the Word As Our Principal

The Word Over Other Distractions-

Even Our Most Basic Physical Needs.

We Are Admonished To Consume

Most Of The Word As We Grow,

Just Like A Child Whose Need For Food

Increases As He Grows.

And Like An Elated Child Who Sees

Dinner Being Put On The Table,

Jeremiah exults That The Word

Was His Source Of Joy.

As We open Our Bibles,

We Don't Need To Be

Bashful!

Let Us eat Until We Are Full!
