Lasagna is a hardy meal -like Sheppard's pie, a nice peppered steak, meat loaf.... it's hardy!
And in the dream I was getting presented this good hardy lasagna... (a corner crunchy cheesy piece is the best.)
The word of God is like a good lasagna... it has layers upon layers of deep meaning.
I was then reminded of a verse in the Bible.
"But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained their sensibilities to distinguish good from evil."
When God gives you a word... stick a fork and knife into... cut some off and put it in your spiritual mouths. Taste it with your spiritual taste buds. Taste what's in it by the Spirit of God. Consider the layers... consider what you haven't considered before... eat and eat some more and be satisfied in the deep things of God.
This hardy food will keep you encouraged and energized. You will not just consider the things here but above. You will be empowered, humbled, disciplined, and more reverent towards God. This will bring praise and thanksgiving to your heart and lips and honor and righteousness in your life.
Don't think you know and heard it all -for those who have decided this in their hearts have fallen away and/or have become indifferent.
So as you go to the place where your church meets... eat and eat well.
Ask God -"What have you brought to the table to strengthen and encourage my soul today?"
But Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.'"
