Angels’ Food

“Man did eat angels’ food: he sent them meat to the full.” (Psalm 78:25) This quote from Psalms made me wonder, just what is angels’ food?

Mary Baker Eddy says in Science and Health that angels are “God’s thoughts passing to man; spiritual intuitions, pure and perfect; the inspiration of goodness, purity, and immortality, counteracting all evil, sensuality, and mortality.” And food is “something that sustains, nourishes and augments.” (1828 Webster’s Dictionary)

I read an article the other day that helped me understand. It talked about hungering for God; and said 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. We do make a choice!

We are continually warned to be aware of what we take into our consciousness, and chew on. We are so greatly blessed with all the real nourishment contained in the Bible, Science and Health, and the extensive collection of inspiring, uplifting, and really worthwhile “food” on the Plainfield website. What a beautiful thought to “eat angels’ food”!
