Matthew 4:4
Jesus answered, and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
What of Today’s Verse…
Like Esau, we get so diverted by the mundane things of life, the growling of our bellies, we forget the longer-range view of things. God’s word, his written word the Bible, his demonstrated Word in Jesus, and his proclaimed word in the Gospel, are what can sustain us eternally.
Let us Pray:
True and Faithful God, through your Holy Spirit create in me a hunger for your word that is much more demanding of life than my hunger for food. I confess that at times I have been distracted by the mundane things of life and have not sought your word and have not nourished my soul. Please forgive me as I pledge myself to be more attentive to your leading and your truth through your word. Through Jesus I pray. Amen.
Words of Wisdom
Let Go, Let God…
I let go and let God guide me in new experiences and accomplishments.
Have I ever had the experience of thinking I had released a situation only to find that a word or phrase or action brings it rushing back?
The truth is that I am a work in progress and I am making progress each day. When I need a loving reminder that all negativity from the past should remain in the past, I turn to God for assurance.
Whatever issues I have been working on, God is the solution. So I let go and let God. God is the light that shines on me and on everyone around me. In the peaceful glow of divine light, I release the thoughts and feelings that have been holding me back. I accept that I have a new life in Spirit, a life filled with new experiences and accomplishments.
“But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.” —Romans 7:6
