Bible Simile, 2of14

~ The Bible is Like Food—for Consumption, Digestion and Nourishment ~

Bible Similes  ~  The Word of God likens itself to a number of practical items.  “The Word is like…”  In this series we will look at some of the similes of the Bible which are presented clearly in the Bible itself. 

Like Food  ~  “You know where I am, God!  Remember what I’m doing here!  Take my side against my detractors.  Don’t stand back while they ruin me.  Just look at the abuse I’m taking!  When your words showed up, I ate them—swallowed them whole.  What a feast!  What delight I took in being yours, O God, God-of-the-Angel-Armies! (Jeremiah 15:15-16, The Message). 

Application  ~  Spiritual food, just like physical food, is necessary for normal growth and development.  It nourishes and builds strength for daily life.
