Good morning. Breakfast is served.
Matthew 4: 3 - 4 (NIV)
The tempter came to him and said, "If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread."
Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.'
· Remember today we do not live by natural bread (food) alone, but it is God’s every word coming into our lives that causes us to grow in our true strength and potential.
· Natural bread (food) profits the natural man but is unable to give the needed nutrition and fiber that your Spirit craves for. Only God’s Word will satisfy that inner appetite.
· That Bible you own contains the living words of God. Each sentence, thought, and principle is power-packed and able to produce in you and through you incredible things. Make sure you take time to daily eat the bread of God not just the bread of man.
· Don’t try and live by natural things alone. Jesus said that a man cannot do that because he needs the words of God to be all that he was designed and destined to be.
Ever heard the term “GIGO”. It stands for “garbage in garbage out”. Listen, when you make sure you have a daily input of divine bread which is God’s Word, The Bible, you change that principle to a more positive reality which is “God in God out”. You will experience life and power coming from you at every corner and not garbage.
Jesus demonstrated the power of the Word of God when tempted by Satan in a time of physical weakness. In times of trouble or temptation you too will have the answer because you would have digested it earlier. Champions take time to regularly eat the bread that God has given and when they do they are fit for life.
I pray you ever fall in love with the Word of God and may God give you today your daily bread!
