Transformational
James Granger
The process of eating food and reading the Bible are surprisingly quite synonymous. Jesus was very intentional when He described the Word of God as the “Bread of Life” and is able to “quench our thirst eternally.” Pastor James Granger shares how the process of reading the Word begins with a hunger for it, then moves onto the “chewing”/processing, swallowing, and digesting of it all. We see that by taking in the Word of God, it is able to satisfy and fill us up in a way that food cannot.
Various Scriptures
- Live Notes
My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and appear before God?
Like newborn infants, long for the pure spiritual milk, that by it you may grow up into salvation, if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is good.
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, even as he chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before Him.
All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.
This Book of Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.
How can a young man keep his way pure? By guarding it according to your word.
But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom and continues in it – not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it – they will be blessed in what they do.
Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and keep it!
For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. And no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account.
Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst. For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks on the Son and believes in him should have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.
