HOW IS YOUR APPETITE?
“How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth.”–Psalm 119:103

There are some folks who attend a doctrinally sound church, but are spiritually starving and stunted in their spiritual growth. The problem might be that they don’t hear and heed the Word of God. But it might be due to another problem. 

F.B. Meyer wrote,”The whole of Christian living, in my opinion, hinges on the way Christians read the Bible for themselves. We may measure our growth in grace by the growth of our love for private Bible study; and we may be sure that there is something seriously wrong when we lose our appetite for God’s Word.” 

I agree. So, the logical question is–“How’s your appetite?” Is there “something seriously wrong”? Do you love private Bible study? How much time do you spend each day reading and studying God’s Word? How much time do you spend watching TV, etc.? Are you growing in grace? Why not? 

Sadly, many people are on a starvation diet. They are depriving themselves of the vital nourishment that only the Bible can provide. They are ailing spiritually and it shows. Some people are wondering why they can’t cope with trials, conquer temptation, and find comfort in their troubles, when the culprit is a lack of Bible study. You can’t starve yourself and remain strong. So, it’s easy to see that serious Bible study isn’t just for show, it is a matter of survival! HDS
