Spiritual Food
(Matthew 4:4)
When my soul is hungry, the
Bible is a feast.
I munch upon the Scriptures
from greatest to the least.
I gnaw upon the prophets like
a juicy steak.
And savor Psalms and Proverbs
like a snack during break.
I devour Acts and Romans when
it’s time to regroup.
And I slurp up the gospels
like I do with savory soup.
I might be like a kid eating veggies
with Numbers and Lamentations.
But like cake and ice cream,
Paul’s epistles are good for celebrations.
The book of Hebrews is
definitely something to chew on.
And First and Second Peter
gives me energy to move on.
First, Second and Third John are
as sweet as juicy fruits.
And the books of history are
like nourishing roots.
Like Grandma’s goulash which
doesn’t look like food,
I eat Revelation anyway for I
know it’s good.
I do not live on bread alone,
though it may sound odd,
but every word that comes from
the mouth of God.
