"There are many scholars who have read the Bible for information but have never entered into a fellowship with Jesus Christ. That reminds me of the difference between a woman who memorizes a menu at a restaurant and a woman who enjoys the food. Only one gets fed!”Becoming a Woman Who Listens to God By Sharon Jaynes p. 16
I have obviously gotten behind on this blog—not for lack of ideas or for lack of great hints from others who spend time in God’s Word.
Sometimes life happens.
And sometimes, discipline doesn't.
But I couldn't let this passage slip by without sharing it. It reminds me of a young man whose parents told him to read a menu from right to left--prices first. His "enjoying the food" was somewhat limited. Not so with God's Word. We can enjoy it all!
What are you reading these days? Old Testament or New? Are you following a particular theme or working through a Bible Study? Are you finding yourself more informed, or transformed? Memorizing the menu, or being fed?
Ever Growing,
