"Tasted the good Word of God" (Heb. vi. 5).
We are "nourished in the word of faith" (1 Tim. iv. 6), for it is "the sincere milk of the Word" (1 Pet. ii. 2). "To you it shall be for food," was our Father's declaration, so it is not material, it is spiritual.
The Word "that is with God and is God" must "dwell in you"; as Paul writes the Colossians, "Let the Word of Christ dwell in you." The Word then is Spirit — is Truth; it is called Eternal Word. Jesus says, "My Word is Eternal Life." We must study it, feed upon it. If we long for a more spiritual living, a nearer likeness to Christ, we must be "hungry for the word," not as it comes in creed and doctrine, but from our Bible, and from Science and Health, the common fountain of Truth. We must be "doers of the Word," not "hearers" only, our daily prayer, "Lord, let the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be acceptable in Thy sight, my strength and my Redeemer." —
