Soul Food-A Banqueting Feast

Dig in, friend!

The banqueting table is set with scrumptious offerings for your soul. Don’t hold back, self-restraint here is to your own detriment.

Savoring these decadent morsels will bring heavenly satisfaction and a spiritual fullness without tipping the scales in the physical realm. Can’t say for sure what will happen to the weight of your spiritual condition.

May your soul be nourished and your spirits lifted as you feast fully on the glorious spread before you.

Enjoy!

Check back regularly for fresh offerings.

The Indwelling of Christ by faith…is to have Jesus Christ continually in one’s eye,

a habitual sight of Him.

I call it so because a man actually does not always think of Christ;

but as a man does not look up to the sun continually,

yet he sees the light of it….

So you should carry along and bear along in your eye

the sight and knowledge of Christ,

so that at least a presence of Him accompanies you, which faith makes.

Thomas Goodwin


Difficulty is actually the atmosphere surrounding a miracle,

or a miracle in its initial stage. 

Yet if it is to be a great miracle,

the surrounding condition will be not simply a difficulty

but an utter impossibility.

And it is the clinging hand of His child

that makes a desperate situation a delight to God.             

 L.B. Cowman


The life of the believer is described as delight in God,

and we are reminded of the great fact that genuine faith overflows with happiness and joy.

CHARLES HADDEN SPURGEON


But only those who are weary will seek rest;

only those who are convinced that a storm is approaching, will look for shelter.

Affected with a deep sense of the Divine displeasure, to which we are exposed by sin,

let us at once have recourse to Jesus Christ,

and thankfully accept the refuge he affords.

Matthew Henry


If you abandon to Jesus,

and come when He says, “Come,”

He will continue to say “Come” through you;

you will go out into life reproducing the echo of Christ’s “Come.”

That is the result in every soul who has abandoned and come to Jesus.

Have I come to Jesus?

Will I come now ?

OSWALD CHAMBERS


Oh, the Word holds forth a way full of comfort and

peace to the people of God even in this world.

You may live happy lives in the midst of all storms

and tempests in the world.There is an ark that you

may come into, and no men in the world may live such

comfortable, cheerful and contented lives

as the saints of God.

Oh, that we had learned this lesson.

—Jeremiah Burroughs The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment


It will always be true

that the wisest course for the disciple

is always to abide sorely by

the Word of God in all simplicity.

—Dietrich Bonhoeffer The Cost of Discipleship


Never allow anything

to come between yourself and Jesus Christ,

no emotion, or experience;

nothing must keep you from

the one great sovereign Source.

—Oswald Chambers
