Day 37

Matthew 4:4 ~ "Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God".

I love food, especially fried chicken. There’s nothing like a two piece spicy chicken with cajun rice and a biscuit from Popeye’s, I used to eat it every Tuesday. Pizza, chocolate cake, ice cream, all things I ate on a weekly basis. I would say, “you gotta eat to live” when people would question the things I ate. The truth in the matter is that I was living to eat. I was so focused on feeding my body, but my soul was starving. I used to have my meals planned out for the next day, but I wouldn’t plan time to read God’s word. I want to remind you all today that spiritual food is just as, if not more, important that physical food. The only way we will survive this world is if we are filled with His word. The solution to every problem we have is in the bible, but if we never go look for it, we’ll always lose. Yes, we have to nourish our bodies to live, but to live as God has intended, we have to stuff ourselves full of the Truth. When you don’t ingest enough of the Word, your soul becomes malnourished and weak. You become vulnerable for an attack from the enemy.  But blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled! (Matthew 5:6) Make sure that you take the time to “pig out” on the word of God; I guarantee you it’s the best meal you’ll ever eat!
