THE coldness of the snow has probably made the deer’s appetite keener, and it must have whatever food is provided for it.
We, too, are like the deer in one respect. Those of us who have trusted in the Lord Jesus Christ as our Saviour have a new nature which is not at ease in this world which has been so filled with the effects of sin. We are hungry and need to feed upon Christ, “the bread of life.”
When we read God’s Word and act upon it, we feed upon Christ and do the will of God. Thus our souls are fed with spiritual food, and we grow to be strong in the Lord.
It is more important that we give our souls good, wholesome food every day than to feed our bodies. Let us not starve our precious soul, but feast continually on that heavenly food that always brings with it great strength, blessing and joy.
