“You Shall Be Fed”

Reference: Psalms Chapter 37

He is called El-Shaddai; the All-Breasted-One.

The word shad means breast.

When a baby is hungry, the mother puts him on her breast, and the baby can drink until they’re full.
Likewise, God feeds His children by the breast of His Word. One breast provides Salvation, and the other breast for healing.

Isaiah 53:5 “But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.”

One breast is for spiritual healing, and the other breast for physical healing.

David writes “thou shall be fed.”

Let’s read:

Psalm 37:1-3 “Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity. [2] For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb. [3] Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.”

We are fed spiritually and physically by the Word.

The Word is a seed planted in our hearts. It must be watered with faith and will blossom in our spirit. Soon, the seed grows into a big tree of life.

The Seed (Word) provides Salvation, physical healing, defense, and everything else needed.

Faith applied to every Word of God will manifest exactly as God has said.

He says you are saved if you place your faith in Jesus Christ. If anyone places their faith in Jesus Christ, they are saved,  just as God has said. The same principle applies to every word of God.

His Word says you must be born again.

We apply faith to the Word, and the Word manifests. We receive Christ and we are immediately changed, born again.

God stands by every promise made in His Word.

We continue our reading:

Psalm 37:4-19 “Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. [5] Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. [6] And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday. [7] Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass. [8] Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil. [9] For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth. [10] For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be. [11] But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace. [12] The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth. [13] The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming. [14] The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, and to slay such as be of upright conversation. [15] Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken. [16] A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked. [17] For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the LORD upholdeth the righteous. [18] The LORD knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be for ever. [19] They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.”

A little of he Word of God is better than a million worlds.

Mark 8:36 “For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?”

Only the Word of God satisfies. Jesus Christ is the Word of God.

We continue our reading:

Psalm 37:20-25 “But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away. [21] The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous sheweth mercy, and giveth. [22] For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth; and they that be cursed of him shall be cut off. [23] The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way. [24] Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand. [25] I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.”

The Word of God is the spiritual and physical bread. He was Jehovah Jireh to Abraham. He was manna to the children of Israel in the wilderness He was the bread and fish that fed the five thousand.

He feeds us today by the leading, guiding, and provision of the Holy Spirit.

Luke 11:11-13 “If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? [12] Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? [13] If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?”

We conclude our reading:

Psalm 37:26-40 “He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed. [27] Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore. [28] For the LORD loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off. [29] The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever. [30] The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment. [31] The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide. [32] The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him. [33] The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged. [34] Wait on the LORD, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it. [35] I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree. [36] Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found. [37] Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace. [38] But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of the wicked shall be cut off. [39] But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD: he is their strength in the time of trouble. [40] And the LORD shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him.”

The Word saves, heals, delivers, provides, and protects. The Word is life.

John 6:53-56 “Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. [54] Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. [55] For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. [56] He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.”

Feed on the Word. BELIEVE and confess Christ the Word as we’ve revealed Him from the First Adam. We are fed spiritually and physically by the Word, in Christ!
