TWO workmen were eating their lunch together, when one, who was a Christian, took from his pocket a New Testament and read as he ate.
“What is the use of that?” asked his companion. “Why do you read that book over and over?”
“Why do you eat day after day?”
“To keep alive and strong, of course.”
“Exactly,” answered the Christian, “and as you take nourishment for your body, so do I need and take nourishment for my soul. God gives me this food it is His precious Word. If I neglect it, I become weak, and cannot bear fruit for Him.”
May we truthfully say, “I have esteemed the words of His mouth more than my necessary food.” Job. 23:12.
