Hello friend, it's so good to greet you again. So many of you have been continuously sharing your testimonies that you've received through these today's blessing videos, and we are so happy to read all of your comments and emails of God's goodness in your lives. As you continue to claim God's promise each and every day, you will see God working in your life. Today God has given us such a promise from Jeremiah 15:16, “When Your words came, I ate them; they were my joy and my heart’s delight.” Yes, my dear friend, the words that God speaks give us joy and are our heart’s delight. But there is a word in this verse that says, “when Your words came, I ate them.” That’s what Jeremiah says gave him joy.

Today in this world, when we are stressed, when we are celebrating, or when we want to forget our sadness, we scroll on our phone and try to find the best restaurant to go and have all the food and forget about our problems. Then we post a story saying, “this is the food for my soul,” and that it gives us peace and happiness after all our sadness, grief, and stress. Maybe you are going through stress at work, failure in relationships, pressure in your family, or a financial crisis. To hide all that stress, you may say, “Let me go have some biryani.” For a moment, it may feel like peace, and after eating, we take a nice, long nap. But when we wake up, all the stress and sadness return, and our mind is again filled with confusion and pressure.

But my dear friend, the Bible says in Matthew 4:4, “man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.” What do these words do in our lives? John 6:63 says, “They give us life”. When we are filled with this life, we receive everlasting joy that does not fade away but keeps bubbling in our hearts, filling us with the Lord’s delight. So today, as you receive God’s promises and intake His words into your soul, as Jeremiah says, as we eat those words, it will fill us with joy, peace, clarity, and strength. It will not put us to sleep but will energise us and guide us in what we should do. So today, intake the Lord’s word and direction for your life, and God will give you joy as you walk with Him. Yes, receive this life today; you will have joy.

PRAYER: 
Dear Lord, today, help me to remember all of Your promises. Help me to believe in Your word and receive it as direction for my life. As I meditate on Your word, let it be my bread and the true food for my soul. Today, let Your word bring me joy as I believe and obey it, and let it fill my heart with delight. Help me to trust in You and live according to Your word each day. In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.
