eating the Bible

I read an article yesterday about a man in a country where the Bible is illegal. The man hid in a room and memorized Scripture to keep it in his heart and mind. Then he ate the pages so they could not be found. The article mentioned that in American we are spiritually "malnourished." The picture of someone longing for the nourishment of God's Word in his heart can be compared with the picture we have of ourselves, fully nourished and yet longing for the junk food of our society. May we eat God's Word till we are full, sustained and nourished by it's truth and life changing power!!

Romans 1:16 "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God unto salvation..."
