This Thanksgiving, I ate and ate and ate some more! More specifically, hallelujah, I was fed! It's true that I did eat some turkey and traditional Thanksgiving fare, but my spirit received sustenance and nourishment as well. It was more than sustenance. It was a full meal.
I attended a Thanksgiving conference this week that was truly life-giving. I'm so thankful to the speakers, staff and conference attendees that made sure my family and I ate well. The spiritual meal came right out of the bible. The written Word of God that testifies and points to the Living Word of God, the altogether lovely One, the Lord Jesus Christ! It is God's truth concerning Himself from cover to cover. What God says in His Word is not something for us to consider, weigh, and determine whether or not we like it. It is the record, and the revelation of Jesus Christ...nothing less.
My spirit had been starving and today I am full. Thank you Lord! It has come time for me to put down all of my books for awhile and open up His book. I was reminded this week of how rich and full of life the scriptures are. How wonderful and marvelous. How utterly necessary to press on and press into Jesus. New Testament or Old Testament just doesn't matter. It's all one book and the whole thing speaks of the sufficiency and outright preeminence of Jesus. He is all we need for the Christian life and oh, what an "all" He is! I'm so thrilled to be a part of Him and I long to meet Him again and again in His Word. Thanks in advance for those of you who will keep me accountable.
