"I have not departed from the commandment of his lips;I have treasured the words of his mouth more than my portion of food."
In this passage Job defends himself and says that he has followed the LORD and His commandments. He calls them the commandments of His lips. This of course is a reference to the Word of God. He continues by saying that he has treasured the Word of God more than food. Job, in his defense of his integrity, says that he loves the Word of God so much that God’s Word is more precious to him than food. I would argue that this is the sentiment of a true Christian hedonist. Not to mention a Christian hedonist who has lost everything except his love for God.
Would we have such a love living with Job’s circumstances? Better yet, do we have such love at the expense of sustenance and pleasure?
