Don't fast from the Scriptures, or you'll grow weak. Desire the Word to nourish your soul more than food and drink for your body. Most of what you consume will be burned up as spiritual energy for that day. Linger at the table, feasting on His pure food, consuming more than a day's supply, and add an ounce or two to your spiritual weight. This is the prerequisite step to growing up in your salvation.
Insufficient intake means insufficient growth.
