Jeremiah chapter 15 verse 16, your words were found and I ate them and your words

became to me a joy and the delight of my heart. For I am called by your name, O Lord God of hosts.

I love this verse. I just listened to it one more time. This is Jeremiah speaking to God,

saying your words were found and I ate them like I devoured them. I digested them.

Just pause and think about that in your life. Do you digest the words of God? Do you

find them and feast on them? That's the picture here in Jeremiah 15, 16, a feasting on God's word

in ways that lead to joy. Your words became to me a joy. Oh, is God's word a joy to you? I think

about when my wife and I were dating and this was back before email. She would write me notes

and mail them to me and the joy that I would find in opening up a letter from this girl who is

sharing her thoughts and her heart with me. That's the picture I have here. Jeremiah 15, 16,

your words became to me a joy. Do we open up God's word like this with joy, with eagerness,

anticipation. What is he going to say? Your words became to me a joy and the delight of my heart

is God's word, the delight of your heart. Oh, God may it be so, but listen to the way this verse

ends for I am called by your name. Oh, Lord God of hosts. What a picture that for all who

realize that the Lord God of hosts has called your name. This is the way we view the word of God.

He we're his children called by him. He has spoken to us. Just look around you in the world today

all creation and realize the God who formed creation, who spoke in creation, came into being

this God is called you by name and he speaks to you through his words. So eat them, digest them,

meditate on them, memorize them, may his word be to you a joy and the delight of your

heart. God, we pray for this kind of relationship to your word that we would find your word daily

and feast on your word. God, that we would find your word daily and feast on it day and night,
