Sitting at His feet
Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart. (Jeremiah 15:16 KJV)
When you’re spiritually weak, it’s often because you haven’t really feasted on, been filled up with, and been strengthened by the good, wholesome, nourishing, encouraging and feeding truth of God’s Word. You can’t get so busy with other things that you neglect your inspiration, the spiritual food and nourishment that you need from the Word.
If you sincerely seek God as you read His Word, He will speak to you through it. And the more dearly you begin to love His Word and the more you study it and feed from it, the more you will grow spiritually and the more you will find that God can speak to you clearly and directly through His written Word.
When the Holy Spirit quickens a passage of the Bible or verse to you, applying it to your own personal situation, it brings the Word to life. The Lord will bring His Word to life and speak to you personally, giving you direction for your problems and answers to your prayers, as you read His Word.
When He helps you apply it to a situation, it suddenly becomes alive. The Bible isn't mere words anymore, or words that just run through your head, but it reaches your heart and you really get the point. Resting in the Lord and sitting at His feet and hearing from Him and His Word is so necessary. God’s Word is just that important. [1]
