September 2009...Feed on the Bible

Father, I hunger to learn more about You,
So that I can grow in Your way.
Let me be nourished by Your Word,
Consistently reading it each day.

If I eat into the very soul of the Bible
I will be blessed with more knowledge of You.
Your scriptures will become part of my speech
I'll consult You in all that I do.

I'll consume the contents of Your books,
Your messages to the prophets of old.
You gave inspiration to the Psalmists
And the Testament writers I'm told.

Help me to feed on Your Word,
Absorbing Your wisdom and grace.
You sent Your only Son Jesus,
His life, through the Bible, we trace.

Flavour my prayers with Your words,
Strengthening each one with a quote,
Until I taste the essence of You in me,
So strong, that others take note!

When we feed on the Bible, the Living Word, of God, it becomes as Manna for our souls.
