Recently, I have had to learn to ferment food to fix a long-term issue with my digestive system.

Fermenting food takes a while for your system to like, but it seems to be important.

So, it is with the Word of God the bible. When I was young, I was fed the Word regularly I thought it was normal. Yet when i went to College I found out that not everyone read the Word nor had it read to them. Some would grab the bible and could not get enough, always asking questions. While others it was like when you have sauerkraut for the first time. That is not the best analogy. I asked my grown daughter why does my stomach ache? She told me you have to build up to it.

The bible is not something you need to build up to but it is something that you must let marinate in your mind, heart and soul to do its work. Often reflecting on a book, chapter or verse to let God talk to you about it. Ask God a question and see how He reveals the mysteries.

Question might be:

Let us stop and read a verse and ask God to light it up. Wait to get input from God. Then ask what they think they heard. It is possible not everyone will get an answer, but it is worth a try.
