DAILY BREAD
Matthew 4:4
"But [Jesus] answered and said, 'It is written, "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God." ' "
There is a famine of the word of God (Amos 8:11). One of the reasons that people succumb to temptation is that they are weak because the do not feed on God's Word. Job said, "I have treasured the words of [God's] mouth more than my necessary food" (Job 23:12b). Just as daily food is necessary for physical strength, so daily feeding on God's word is vital for spiritual life. I must feed on it or starve. As Peter said to Jesus, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life" (John 6:68). So I pray Jesus' prayer, "Give us this day our daily bread" (Matthew 6:11).
TODAY'S PRINCIPLE: Feeding on God's word daily is vital for strength to withstand temptation.

Have a feeding day. Love you.
