Zephaniah 2:3 AMP
Seek the Lord [inquire for Him, inquire of Him, and require Him as the foremost necessity of your life].
If God were water, we would thirst for Him each day. If He were food, we would hunger for Him. If He were air, we would breathe Him into our lungs twelve to twenty times a minute. Yet God, our Creator, is all these things and more. If we need these basic necessities for our daily physical existence, why then do we so easily allow our spirits to starve by not opening our Bibles? When Jesus fasted and prayed in the desert for forty days, the devil tempted Him by urging Jesus to turn stones into bread. And even though Jesus was famished, He answered, “Man shall not live on bread alone.” (Luke 4:4 NIV) There is more to this life than basic survival. Our bodies hunger for one thing and our spirits for another. Thankfully, God provides a daily portion for us through Scripture, which is manna for the soul.
We all have problems in this life, worries, concerns, sad situations, and important decisions to make. Most importantly, we all have questions we need the answers to. To find “The Answer,” open your Bible and read. Feed your spirit with good soul food!
