“Man did eat angels’ food: he sent them meat to the full.” Psalm 78:25
“Angels are pure thoughts from God, winged with Truth and Love, … Angels are God’s representatives. These upward-soaring beings never lead towards self, sin, or materiality, but guide to the divine Principle of all good, whither every real individuality, image, or likeness of God, gathers.” By Mary Baker Eddy from Science and Health, pages 298-299
“ANGELS. God’s thoughts passing to man; spiritual intuitions, pure and perfect; the inspiration of goodness, purity, and immortality, counteracting all evil, sensuality, and mortality.” By Mary Baker Eddy from Science and Health, page 581
Food: Something that sustains, nourishes and augments. (1828 Webster’s Dictionary)
We were instructed during our last Roundtable to be content at heart, have gratitude and joy. We are continually warned about what we take into our consciousness and chew on. We have been greatly blessed with all the nourishment contained in our Bible, Science and Health by Mary Baker Eddy and the extensive collection on this website and the tools in our classes to take in and live this Truth.
I read an article the other day about hungering for God and if we aren’t hungry something is wrong. Perhaps we are finding ourselves filling up on other things and dulling our appetite for God. The writer points out that many try to snack their way through the day on “junk-food” activities and have no time to “feast” with God. Some may take God in small doses throughout the week hoping to “catch up” on their time with the Lord. We choose what we eat.
What a beautiful thought to “eat angels’ food.” Thank you Lesson writers!
