Daily Bread

Today’s Scripture: … Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. Matt 4:4 (KJV)

Song To Meditate On: This is the Air I Breathe – Micheal W. Smith (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mEDcKZB7r2A)

Today’s scripture is telling us that food alone cannot sustain us as human beings because we also have spiritual needs. It is amazing however, that many of us think we cannot go a day without food but we go weeks, months and years without hearing a word from God. The result of this however, is death be it physical, financial, emotional or spiritual death.

Ladies understand that we are made up of body, spirit and soul. It is important to feed our bodies and our souls but it is also important to ensure that the spiritual man is fed. As the scripture says the spirit man is fed by every word that proceedeth out of God’s mouth. The words that proceedeth out of God’s mouth is contained in the scriptures or can be heard when God speaks to you himself whether during your quiet time or through someone else.

Here are some benefits of feeding yourself with the Word of God:

·         God’s Word is true – Proverbs 30:5 tells us the every word of God is pure and John 17:17 tells us that the Word of the Lord is true. Therefore you do not have to worry about whether or not you are being lied to when you read the word of God

·         God’s Word builds your faith - Faith cometh by hearing; and hearing by the Word of God. If you continuously read and apply the Word to your life you will find that your belief will be stronger as the word manifests itself  in your everyday life.

·         God’s Word is alive and full of power – As it says in Hebrews 4:12, God’s word is able to penetrate or change anyone, it causes people to analyze, judge and change the inner most desires of the heart. This is why a drug addict, a murderer, a prostitute etc reads or hears the word of God and changes their ways.

·         God’s Word does what it says it will do – Unlike man, when God speaks He does what He says He will do. Isaiah 55:11 says “it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper [in the thing] whereto I sent it.”

·         God’s Word stands forever - While the flowers fade and man will break their promises, the Word of the Lord will not change (Isaiah 40:8). So you can be assured that if God made a promise to you, even if it comes to pass in your 5^th generation, it shall come to pass. This was evident in the story of Abraham where He didn’t see the Promise land but his descendants saw it. Also He was made father many nations through his descendants.

 So ladies do not neglect feeding your spiritual man as this will also keep your physical and emotional man alive.

Have A God Filled Day Ladies
