Dear Child,
Take heed and walk the words I feed you, only then will that manna remain fresh, or else it will become the stench of hypocrisy.
To stay fresh and stay alive you must digest it that it may become part of every cell of your being.
Just as Israel ate of the manna which I provided, only that which they ate did not deteriorate and begin to stink.
Hypocrisy is a stench! Words but no walk!
Only that which you walk will give life to others! The rest is dead works!
Thus saith Papa
Luke 12:1 Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
James 1:22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
John 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
During Israel’s wandering in the wilderness God provided them manna everyday to feed upon. They had to pick it fresh every morning, early before the heat of the sun melted it. The manna deteriorated if not eaten that same day, IT COULD NOT BE STORED IF NOT ABSORBED. What a lesson that is to us! Similarly we must feed on the nutrients of the Word everyday but only that which we swallow and absorb can we store by hiding it in our hearts. Only while it is stored in our hearts will our manna stay fresh as it becomes part of our very being, the same way a piece of physical bread becomes part of us as we swallow it and it takes nutrients of life to every cell of our body. Our manna takes spiritual life to every fiber of our being that we may live by the Word. Only as we choose to obey does the Word become alive, otherwise it is only the cold letter of the Word.
To ‘ABSORB’ means ‘ to take in and appropriate’ or ‘to make part of the existent whole’.
Many today are suffering from spiritual anorexia where the heavenly manna gets no further than their minds or at most they only chew it over due to a lack of appetite. While others are weak because of spiritual bulimia where they may swallow the word but it is thrown up because they do not obey it and appropriate it to their lives.
CHALLENGE: Is there the stench of hypocrisy in our lives from “thrown up” words, which we do not walk?
