This may seem obvious but this rabbit hole goes so deep into my soul and my guess is every ones. I remember one of my original questions when I read through the Bible the first time was; “What the significance of the fat on the liver for the sacrifices in Exodus 29?” That question has bugged me for literally 30 years, as I finally unraveled it the relationship to fat and truth and lean and lies became more and more glaring.

I have much to share on today’s show on how I got there but the payoff is that the 23rd Psalm is the antidote to MY eating disorder, my struggles with the spirit of poverty, and the answer to the question Eve and possibly Adam that Satan leveraged to get them to chose food over God. Which, by the way was the first temptation Satan threw at Jesus.

The clue was in the words Eat and Deceive, the Hebrew letter KAF normally a crown has much to do with human motivations of Desire and Pleasure and no doubt we are all driven to do crazy things with those two. When I perceive that’s life’s pleasures are at stake my desire can drive my intellect to come up with all sorts of insanity.

Understanding that, man doesn’t live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God as Jesus quoted from Deut 8:3, has infinite pleasure when my heart realizes that Jesus is the WORD and the WORD is Jesus. To experience the WORD is to experience the Hebrew concept of TAINUG… That’s the word Solomon used in Song of Solomon 7:6

How fair and how pleasant art thou, O love, for delights!

Song 7:6

The Truth and it is so rich and fat, beats any delicacy or doughnut, steak or lobster, Ferrari or Rolls Royce, fantasy vacation or any other fantasy I might have. As King David wrote:

23: 1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.

4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

Psalms 23
