You are the living Word oh Lord. When we touch the Bible with our spirit, we get Spirit. The real key is emphasized in this song. It is to just enjoy the word. It’s like eating. If we don’t enjoy our food we wouldn’t eat. Vs 11 speaks of the Word as our bread. Vs 14 is the explanation of where the enjoyment comes from. I ate the words I found. They become the gladness, joy, that makes my heart resound. I have experienced that!.
Remember Eating the word is taking it in by faith. It is how our heart is turned as we approach the Bible.
