As I sat under a wide-spreading beech, I was pleased to mark with a prying curiosity the singular habits of that most wonderful of trees, which seems to have an intelligence about it which other trees have not. I wondered and admired the beech, but I thought to myself, I do not think half as much of this beech as yonder squirrel does, I see him leap from bough to bough, and I feel sure that he dearly values the old beech tree, because he has his home somewhere inside it in a hollow place, these branches are his shelter, and those beechnuts are his food. He lives upon the tree. It is his world, his playground, his granary, his home; indeed, it is everything to him, and it is not so to me, for I find my rest and food elsewhere. With God's word it is well for us to be like squirrels, living in it and living on it. Let us exercise our minds by leaping from bough to bough of it, and find our rest and food on it, and make it our all in all. There are hiding places in it; comfort and protection are there. -Charles Spurgeon 1834-1892
So with that quote said, I know that I need the Word of God more than I think I need it. What are some ways we can live in and on the Word of God?
