“If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained.” 1 Timothy 6:4
One of the adventures I particularly enjoy when traveling is the opportunity to try foods from different places. No matter if savory or sweet, it is such fun to challenge my taste buds with new sensations. On this trip, I have sampled Moroccan meatballs, Greek salads with plump olives and local olive oil, French coffee (very strong!), and Italian gelato, just to name a few! Every experience has been unique in its own way and deliciously rewarding.
That’s how it is with God’s Word. There are so many wonderful morsels of Scripture that I haven’t even tasted yet! I confess I do have my favorite passages, and I enjoy rereading them over and over, but if I do not expand my spiritual menu, I will be missing out on so much more! Can you imagine only eating a peanut butter sandwich at every meal because it was your favorite food? Take time to peruse God’s Word for something new and refreshing, and spice up your spiritual life!
“And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.” John 6:35
