Man shall not live by bread alone, but
by every word of God - Luke 4:4.
God’s word is the food that
nourishes our inner man. As newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word,
that you may grow thereby - 1 Peter 2:2. The word of God has the life-giving
power as it is the life that gives health to our flesh. My son, give attention
to my words; Incline your ear to my sayings. Do not let them depart from your
eyes; Keep them in the midst of your heart; For they are life to those who find
them, And health to all their flesh - Proverbs 4:20-22.
When the devil tempted Jesus to
turn the stones into bread, the Lord replied that a man does not live by bread
alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God (Matthew 4:4). The word of God purifies us and builds us up. Sanctify
them by Your truth. Your word is truth - John 17:17. To the word of His grace,
which is able to build you up - Acts 20:32. Let us taste and see that the Lord
is good by feeding upon the word of God every day.
The word of God
refreshes our soul, makes us wise, gives us joy and gives light to our eyes.
The law of the Lord is perfect, refreshing the soul. The statutes of the Lord
are trustworthy, making wise the simple. The precepts of the Lord are right, giving
joy to the heart. The commands of the Lord are radiant, giving light to the
eyes - Psalm 19:7,8. Let us live by every word of God. Your words were
found, and I ate them, And Your word was to me the joy and rejoicing of my
heart - Jeremiah 15:16.
PRAYER: Dear Lord, We thank You for
Your word that gives us life. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
