The Words of His Mouth

Job said, "I have esteemed the words of his mouth
more than my necessary food" (Job 23:12).

How much do you value God's words—the words of His mouth? Is your heart panting for the words of God's mouth?

We love to eat and we love to snack. Food is necessary. But can you say that daily nourishment for your soul is more important? Can you go for one whole day without listening to Him speaking? Or do your hunger pains compel you to go and sit at His feet, receiving manna for your soul?

Follow Job's example! Receive the law from His mouth, and lay up His words in your heart! His words satisfy the longing soul. Praise His name!

I was watching a presentation recently about the possibility that humans will one day colonize space and live on other planets. What you shared about the words of God being a type of food is very important to realize, regardless of how much food one may have. Which will severely limit the colonization of space.

Because no matter how well designed a life support system is, the people inside will waste away without the word of God: it is even more important than food. And no astronauts could possibly enjoy God's word on other planets. They would surely waste away and succumb to demons and never establish a colony anywhere else.
