                        Matt.4:4,John6:48-58
                   REST ON THE WORD.....FOR MAN DOES NOT LIVE ON BREAD ALONE
The word of God feeds your spirit and is nourishment for the soul,so read the word every day to build your faith and reliance on God. Amazing as it might seem memories of chapter and verse soon fade, so the reading of the word serves to reinforce our will to continue in our walk with Him each day. When I say that memory fades,I take thought of biting into a peach, the juices flow and I can recall the taste but there is no substance to fill my belly.Seeing and reading the word fills me, when my memory fades, what builds me up is  reading the word. So may I suggest that you not rely on memory but read the word to replenish your spiritual   thoughts and build upon your faith.Then one day you will read a verse that you have read many times before and it will take on a new meaning. Today this happened to me with the above mentioned verses, bread for the physical body but the word for your spirit.Yes when we feed our spirit with the word we grow in all that God has for us, And we learn all the more that His timing is always perfect and meant to perfect His saints. A voice cries prepare the way of the Lord; and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and soon all flesh shall see it. Praise His wonderful name,for His word will stand forever.

  1. Yes Tom, that's right.
    We should read the word every day, then it becomes a relationship with God, He should be a Father to us, not a distant relative. Can we imagine having our earthly father in our house and not speaking to Him. The Bible is God's voice to us, not a book that we should keep on a shelf.
