Feast Upon His Love

Jacob 3:2
O all ye that are pure in heart, lift up your heads and receive the pleasing word of God, and feast upon his love

Here we have the concept of feasting again. It reminds me of the story of the woman who scrimped and saved to go on a cruise. She brought crackers and snacks and took all her meals in her room. Then on the final night of the cruise she decided to treat herself to the sumptuous meal being served. When she asked how much she had to pay, she was told that all meals were provided as part of the cost of the cruise.

Sometimes we are like that. Our Father has laid out a banquet for us. But it is up to us to come in and partake.

I think one way to do this is to count our blessings. We have been raised figuratively on meat, vegetables, desserts, while those around us get by on scraps and scrapings. We have the Gospel, we have health, we have glorious families, we have peace and safety. Yet we complain if we miss our favorite TV show.
