Jeremiah 15:16 Thy Words Were Found

Jeremiah 15:16 (KJV) Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts.

How happy was the prophet who had the LORD feeding him with His Words. They were nourishment to his soul. He testified – thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of the heart.

The Bible has to be opened, and the Word of God read with prayer, as an earnest seeker would do. Just like nutritious, wholesome and delicious food, the prophet said he did eat them. It strengthen him spiritually amidst great apostasy in the nation.

The LORD grant him the strength to joy and rejoice, knowing he was walking in the center of the will of God, being a voice to declare the Word of God. The Word of God gone forth will not return to Him void but will accomplish His purpose for which He had intended to the glory of His Name. For which, Jeremiah was glad. Amen.
