Feasting upon the words of Christ can happen at any time and on any occasion if we prepare our hearts.
Feasting upon the scriptures is not just reading them. It should bring us real joy and build our relationship with the Savior.
When we feast, we will also likely find that the amount or kind of food we have may not matter if our hearts are filled with gratitude.
Feasting sometimes involves experimenting and tasting. Alma talks about a good seed being planted in our hearts. As we experiment on it, we will realize the seed begins “to be delicious” (see Alma 32:28–33).
First, the words of Christ can help us “increase [our] spiritual capacity to receive revelation” … and safely guide us through our life.
“In coming days, it will not be possible to survive spiritually without the guiding, directing, comforting, and constant influence of the Holy Ghost” -Russell M. Nelson
When we struggle with our own identity and lack of self-esteem, the “pleasing word of God” (Jacob 2:8) in the scriptures will help us know who we really are and give us strength beyond our own.
As I recognized my true identity before God, I realized my infinite potential through Christ’s Atonement.
We can lift the lives of others through the words of Christ.
The Lord will do His part to touch the hearts of those with whom we wish to share the gospel.
The words of Christ will profoundly touch hearts and open the eyes of those who do not yet see Him.
Feasting upon the words of Christ will bring life-sustaining revelation, reaffirm our true identity and worth before God as His child, and lead our friends unto Christ and everlasting life.
