Matthew 4:4 4 But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’”
The
Bible tells us that God breathed into man and he became a living being.
(Genesis 2:7) It also tells us that all Scripture is God-breathed. (2
Timothy 3:16, NIV) This means that when you read the Bible or listen to
God’s Word preached, you are imbibing the very breath of God which gives
you life.
That
is why there may have been times you walked into church feeling tired
at first, but left at the end of the service feeling refreshed and
energized. God’s Word had breathed life into your body! I have also seen
many of our church members becoming healthier, stronger and even
younger-looking because they spend time in God’s Word.
It is no wonder that Proverbs 4:22 tells us that God’s words are “life to those who find them, and health to all their flesh”.
So if you are under the weather or if symptoms are attacking your body,
double up on God’s medicine. Simply feed more on God’s Word, and you
will find life and health flowing through your body again.
Jesus
said that man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that
proceeds from the mouth of God. If it is important to eat our meals
every day, how much more feeding on God’s Word? Jesus wants us to know
that we need God’s Word even more than our daily meals. He made us, so
He knows best what our bodies need daily.
So whatever you do, remember to get
your daily feeding of God’s Word. Read your Bible in the comfort of your
home or in the office during your lunch break. Play sermon CDs while
driving to work or doing household chores. If you prefer something more
visual, watch DVDs on the preaching of His Word. Choose whichever form
you prefer and get His Word into you!
Beloved, you cannot live when you
stop breathing. In the same way, you cannot live without the Word
because it is the very breath of God which gives you life and health!
