We share Thee as Thy counterpart.

Not Studying but Eating and Drinking
Although this may seem peculiar, many people read their Bible in this way and therefore do not derive any benefit. They study the “bone” of the word Abraham or the “beak” of the word Tamar. We need to let go of these things. We are here to eat the flesh of the “chicken, ” not the “bones. ” When reading the first seventeen verses of Matthew 1 , we should let go of the many names. But when we read verse 21 , which says, “She will bear a son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for it is He who will save His people from their sins, ” we may understand that we are God’s people, so He must save us from our sins. We may then pray, “Lord, save me from my sins. ” After this the Holy Spirit may speak to us and point out our sins of hitting our children and scolding our wife for many years and that our temper is too poor. Spontaneously, we should confess these sins, saying, “Lord, my temper is too poor. I cannot overcome it. I have been in sin. But You are Jesus. You will save Your people from their sins. I am Your people. Surely You will save me from my sins. ” When we pray this way, we are eating the “meat. ” Following this, we may read: “‘They shall call His name Emmanuel’ (which is translated, God with us)” ( v. 23 ). Here is a bigger piece of “meat. ” We may pray, “Emmanuel! God with man! Lord, You are God with man! You are God, and I am man; You are with me. You are in me, and You are in my presence. ” These verses alone can fill us. During the day we will be praying that Jesus is saving His people from their sins and that God is with man. This kind of reading will make the Bible our food, supply, and nourishment. This kind of reading will bring the Bible into us as our life.
