The Word, Necessary Food
"Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God."
~ Matthew 4:4
"If God so willed it we could live without bread, even as Jesus did for forty days; but we could not live without His Word. By that Word we were created, and by it alone can we be kept in being. Bread is a second cause; the Lord Himself is the first source of our sustenance. Let us not be too eager after the visible, but let us look to the invisible God.
We must have the Word of the Lord. With this alone we can withstand the devil. Our souls need food and there is none for them outside of the Word of the Lord. All the books and all the preachers in the world cannot furnish us a single meal: it is only the Word from the mouth of God that can fill the mouth of a believer. Lord, evermore give us this bread. We prize it above all."
(By: Charles H. Spurgeon ~ One Minute Devotions)
Heaven Father, We pray today for everyones safety. We ask Lord, that our every sin be forgiven this day, our every trespass against You, and every man, woman, and child. Lord as a child of God and a believer of the Faith of the Living Bread, I pray for all who are lost that they may find their way to the Living Bread of Life and that they will heed to Your Living Word. This we pray in Christ Jesus' Precious Name, Amen.
