People
Do Not Live By Bread Alone,
But
By Every Word
That
Comes From The Mouth Of God.
Scripture
Matthew
4:4
‘People
do not live by bread alone,
but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”
but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”
Observation
Today,
more than any other time in the history of mankind, there is no
excuse for not living by every word that comes from the mouth of God.
If
you have a smart phone, a tablet, or a computer, then you have access
to the Word of God, and you have it available to you in every
translation and in all kinds of languages. We have no excuse!
I
hope that with all of this extra time on your hands that you develop
the habit of being in God's Word every day. Did you know that just by
reading God's Word about 15 minutes a day that you can read the
entire Bible.
Have
you ever set as a goal to read the Bible through in a year? Or if
that seems to overwhelming how about reading the New Testament
through over the next few months.
You
can see that I have started reading the New Testament and today I
read Matthew 4. In the Old Testament I am presently reading about
David being hunted down by King Saul.
We
are hard wired and designed by God to read and spend time in His Word
on a daily basis. We were never designed to live life without
depending on God and trusting in Him for direction.
God
created us to have a relationship with Him – a Father/son or a
Father/daughter relationship. And He speaks to us through His Word.
Let's
take time to open up our Bibles and dive into the Word of God today!
As
my pastor Dr. Waylon B. Moore always told the congregation, “Our
Bibles are 'spiritual supermarkets' filled with all sorts delicious
food to nourish our souls!”
Jeremiah
15:16
When
I discovered your words, I devoured them. They are my joy and my
heart’s delight, for I bear your name, O Lord God
of Heaven’s Armies.
Application
I
will enjoy spending time with God every morning at around 6 AM.
How
about you? Do you have a specific time and a specific place where you
will spend time in God's Word every day?
Colossians
3:16a,
“Let
the message of Christ dwell among you richly”
1
Peter 2:2
like
newborn babies, long for the pure milk of the word, so that by it you
may grow in respect to salvation,
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, I know that Your Word is a light to guide my path. I know
that it is spiritual food to nourish my soul. I know that Your Word
will keep me away from sin. I am know that I am to guard your Word in
my heart. Help me to be in Your Word every day. Don't let me miss a
single day this year.
I
pray for my friends who are trying to have a daily quiet time with
You. Help them to be successful. May Your Word become alive to them.
Help them grow spiritually, Lord. Help them to grow!
Psalm
119:105
Your
word is a lamp to guide my feet
and a light for my path.
and a light for my path.
Psalm
119:9&11
How can a young
person stay pure? By obeying your word. I have hidden your word in my
heart, that I might not sin against you.
A
quote from Pastor Rapley Armstrong that I have written down in one of
my Bibles:
“This
Book will keep you away from sin and sin will keep you away from this
Book!”

Bible Reading: 1 Samuel 19; 1 Chronicles 7; Psalm 59; Matthew 4
