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!
