God has purposed that we enjoy a continual feast. He has provided and we're to enjoy. Lets look at a natural food example and see how it's symbolic to the spiritual food we're to feast upon.( Deut 8:10 ) When thou hast eaten and art full, then thou shalt bless the LORD thy God for the good land he has given you. God brought his people into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills. A land of wheat, barley, vines, figs trees, pomegranates, olive oil and honey. A land wherein they could eat bread without scarceness and wouldn't lack anything in it. God said, "When thou hast eaten and are full". Gods intent was for them to enjoy what was provided to the point of being full from its satisfaction. The fact is they could neither eat or enjoy let alone become full if it wasn't for God making it possible. The same God who brought his people into a physical land and provided natural food and all that was to be enjoyed has now provided us with the ability because of him to enter a spiritual land that he leads us into by way of covenant and the food now is spiritual instead of just natural as they had. You see, the same way the natural food was given them to eat without scarceness, God has given us his word as spiritual food so that we can enjoy without scarceness and not lack anything in it. The continual feast of his word is to confess it, meditate on it, rejoice in it etc. These are ways that we eat of his word and allow God from our obedience to lead us. He will bring us into a good land.
