Feed your faith

Greetings
It's another beautiful day in the Lord and I wish you blessings, sunshine and happiness today.
How many of us get tired from time to time?
Most of us are very busy, probably too busy in the eyes of the Lord, nonetheless, we do exert a lot of energy, which drains our physical stamina as well as our spiritual well-being.
I was praying this morning and the Lord directed me to Nehemiah 8:10 so I read it.
The King James Version reads: “Then he said to them, “Go your way. Eat the fat and drink sweet wine and send portions to anyone who has nothing ready, for this day is holy to our Lord. And do not be grieved, for the joy of the LORD is your strength.”
What is says here, if you read the entire context, is the people of Israel are encouraged to eat, drink and be joyful after they have heard the law of the Lord, it has been thoroughly explained by their teachers/preachers, and they have wept in repentance.
What do I hear God saying in all of this? Read the Bible, seek its meaning, repent, and then go and share over food and drink to receive real joy.
This, I believe, is the principle behind all of these yummy church dinners that we all love to devour.
God is urging us to listen to his teachers and preachers to let the Word of God get down in our hearts so we can understand it. The next step is taking action.
It’s difficult watching some folks attempting to create their own joy. Trying everything except what it tells us in Proverbs 3:5  “Trusting in the Lord with all your heart and don’t lean on your understanding."
Remember, if we feed our faith, all doubts will starve.
Be blessed.
