Jeremias 15

Jeremias 15:16

Morris - To the believing remnant in time of suffering, God's Word is "my necessary food" (Job 23:12-note), for there is no nourishment in the "wisdom of the world" which shall "come to nought" (1 Corinthians 2:6). Do you just nibble at the Word? Is it just "snack" food? Digest, Assimilate and make the Word part of your very being. Adrian Rogers - Oh, how sweet are the promises and the truths of God's Word. Oh, how bitter when we see the great judgments that are coming. The Gospel indeed is a two-edged sword. It speaks of glory and grief. James Smith - Observe that in this verse we have both "words" and "Word." In words most certainly we have the written Word, which we now know as the Bible; but surely in Word we have the Living Word, the Lord Jesus. The Living Word, the Lord Jesus, is found in the Written Word, the Bible. Note what we find in this verse: I. Inspiration—"Thy Words." II. Searching—"Found." III. Satisfaction—"Eat them." IV. Rejoicing—"The Joy." V. Privilege—"I am called." VI. Separation—"I sat not" (Jer 15:17). VII. Testimony—"I sat alone" (Jer 15:17). The Word of God is always sweet to the taste of faith. While we feed on the Word of God faith itself will be fed, for faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God (Rom. 10:17). Warren
