Job 23:12 I have not departed from the commandment of His lips; I have treasured the words of His mouth more than my necessary food.

When Job was faced with so much trouble he did not blame God because he knew God was powerful enough to do anything. He knew God was a loving God who protected and did not turn His back on His people.

Job tried to make sure the people around him knew he still trusted God for everything and here he tells his friend God’s Word is worth more than earthly food.

I know what it is like to be hungry and I know what it’s like to have plenty food. I know what it is like to be hungry for God’s Word and to be filled with God’s word!

I too prefer God’s Word!

Psalm 119:103 How sweet are Your words to my taste, Sweeter than honey to my mouth!

I love the taste of honey, especially when it is fresh from the comb and has all the flavours of the flowers around the hive.

It may not be the sweetest thing I know but the taste is so much better than sugar or syrup or other things we think of as being sweet.

God’s word is so much more than just a bunch of words in a book because it will rejuvenate us just as honey can.

Take in God’s Word and allow it to reach deep into your soul, refreshing you more than any other book.

Psalm 34:8 Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in Him!

How many times have you been asked to taste some strange food? Did you like it despite what people said?

If we are not going to taste the Gospel we are never going to know how good it really is. Yes we can rely on what other people say, but in order to really know, we have to taste it for ourselves.

God wants each of us to make up our own minds about Him and His love for us. He wants each of us to get to know Him personally and not just trough someone else.

If you want to be close to God you have to first invite Him into your life!

Galatians 5:16 I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.

Do you despair when people tell you just how easy it was to turn away from sin in their lives? Do you wonder whether you will ever be able to be one of those who walks away from sin?

Don’t worry because you are not alone! I have heard many people say how they wish they could have my faith or be more like me and yet I know I am a sinner!

The truth is we all have our weaknesses but as long as we try to walk with God and allow Him to guide us through His Spirit, we have a far better chance at getting things right!

It is not easy to turn away from the world, so why not try asking God to help you rather than fighting by yourself?
