Call to Worship
1 Peter 2: 2
2:2 As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:
Feeding the Soul With Truth.—
Coming to God inspires confidence, and stimulates the soul to action. The body will die if deprived of suitable nourishment, and so with the soul. In order to have spiritual strength, or even life, it must be nourished by the Word, which is spirit and life. It must be constantly fed by the truth which connects the soul with Him in whom we live, and move, and have our being (Manuscript 16, 1890). {7BC 941.1}
Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. Man is to study the word of God diligently, and grow from drinking milk as a newborn babe into eating meat as a mature adult. To know God is to understand God. God speaks to us through His word that is a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path. His word speaks to us as a Father, a friend, and comforter. He is our source of strength. Establish a relationship with our Lord Almighty and continually feed your soul with truth that ye may grow.
Our Father in heaven,
We thank You, dear Lord, for giving us Your word to live by. Thank You for showing us the way, for being a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path. We pray for wisdom and understanding as we open up Your word that we may learn of You. We pray to feed our souls with Your truth that we may grow into the Christian we need to be. Thank you for being our source of strength. We pray that we can be an example for others and a source of strength to them. Thank You for inspiring us with confidence to go forward as You have asked. We thank You for hearing and answering our prayers, in the name of Christ Jesus, we pray. Amen.
