Feed On Him

Please let me know if you find the restaurant named “It Don’t Matter” because that’s always Mister Bill’s first choice! I admit, we’re not the most widely traveled but I have yet to find this famous place. No doubt, it’s dining must be world-class! God’s Holy Word is a literal buffet of specific and eternal riches to which He is eternally and unchangeably committed. His words are guaranteed in Jesus Christ: “For all the promises of God find their Yes in Him. That is why it is through Him that we utter our Amen to God for His glory.” (2 Corinthians 1:20). Why do we, then, lose sleep, worry and fret, anxiously pass the moments in light of such divine promises? One source numbers God's promises at 5,467! I can only testify it is because of unbelief. A dear friend of mine says, "we only live-out what we truly believe.” Ruth said, “Let me now go to the field and glean” (Ruth 2:2). God through Christ reveals a “broad field of promise” where God “will restore and strengthen … will blow with His sweet breath of mercy … speaketh so gently.” (Spurgeon). Such soft and tender words we pass-up for those of fleeting value! Jesus said, “Come unto Me all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28). Truth is, most of the time it does matter where we park the car, pay the money, and dine! Same spiritually – it greatly matters where and how we are nourished, where the spirit is refreshed and the soul restored. Let us stop looking for what “doesn’t matter.” Instead, let us satisfy the soul’s greatest long: “Him Whom my soul loves” (Song of Solomon 3:4). Feed on Him!
