Jeremiah 15:16 says, “When your words came, I ate them; they were my joy and my heart’s delight.” This verse gives us an unusual picture—not of seeing or hearing God’s truth, but of eating it. The prophet Jeremiah didn’t just read or listen to God’s words—he took them deep into himself, like food.
At first, this might sound strange, but it speaks to a deep truth. Our souls, just like our bodies, get hungry. The things of the world may keep us busy, but they don’t satisfy us for long. Over time, we start to feel empty, craving something real. That’s where God’s Word comes in. His truth feeds the heart, brings joy, and keeps us spiritually strong.
God’s voice fills the emptiness we feel inside. It helps us grow and keeps us alive in a deeper way. So don’t just hear the Bible—take it in fully. Let it be your soul’s daily bread. Let it satisfy you completely.
