Tuesday...Eat

This is a strange word for this program.  Well, it strikes me as strange anyway.  Until I looked at the definitions and realized how the soul and the mind consume objects of learning.  How one feasts upon "the word."

1.   To bite or chew and swallow, as food.  Men eat flesh and vegetables.

2.   To corrode; to wear away;  to separate parts of a thing gradually, as an animal by gnawing.  We say a cancer eats the flesh.

3.   To consume; to waste.

4.   To enjoy.

5.   To consume; to oppress.

6.   To feast.

In scripture, to eat the flesh of Christ, is to believe on him and be nourished by faith.

1.   To take food; to feed; to take a meal, or to board.

2.   To take food; to be maintained in food.

To eat or to eat in or into, is to make way by corrosion; to gnaw; to enter by gradually wearing or separating the parts of a substance.  A cancer eats into the flesh.

     Our souls need nourishment in ways that food can not provide.  Our minds crave learning...our souls crave enlightenment and understanding.
     I know that when I fast (24 hours with no food) I can't eliminate the hunger pangs just by sitting down with the scriptures and consuming the words in them and praying to have a clear understanding of what they mean.
     Eat...consume nourishment...not just for the body but for the soul...the spirit...the essence of your being.

Here is to Growing and Glowing!!!
