Father, may your words permeate our hearts and minds, that we might be both convicted, and encouraged, by your Holy Spirit, as we serve you today. May our words and deeds, be a reflection of who you are, today!
There are two religious paths you can take. The way of the law and works that lead to destruction, or the way of life, through Jesus by faith in his perfect life of sacrifice and his resurrection, that leads to everlasting life. There is nothing he cannot over, if you surrender your life to him! Is this not good new, if you are suffering? He cares for his sheep, and leads them to green pastures. If you are lost, seek him and he will find you. Jesus is his name and there is no other.
Jesus Temptation in the Wilderness by Satan
www.bible.com/100/mat.4.4.nasb1995
It is written. All 3 of Jesus’ replies to the Devil were taken from Deuteronomy. This one, from Dt 8:3 , states that God allowed Israel to hunger, so that He might feed them with manna and teach them to trust Him to provide for them. So the verse is directly applicable to Jesus’ circumstances and a fitting reply to Satan’s temptation. EVERY WORD THAT PROCEEDS OUT OF THE MOUTH OF GOD . A more important source of sustenance than food, it nurtures our spiritual needs in a way that benefits us eternally, rather than merely providing temporal relief from physical hunger.
What are we to do in these troubled times, that we live in? Really, we are not the first people, to go through difficulty. What does God say about this through his apostle Peter? 1 Pet 5:5 says….GOD IS OPPOSED TO THE PROUD, BUT GIVES GRACE TO THE HUMBLE ………Therefore
Our wage, for going our own way, is eternal death, and separation from God. When we turn to Jesus in Faith, who gave his life for our rescue, we are forgiven from destruction, and given the gift of life, both now and for all eternity. Thank you Jesus!
When the Bible speaks to you, it’s the same as God speaking to you. That’s why it’s called the living WORD. If you have never tried reading the Bible, I encourage you to try sitting down with God and listening to what he has to say. It is words of Life!
Just like we need food to live, we need Gods word (the living words of god), to sustain us. They are how we understand who God is. “They are the Words of Life”!
Lord, your Word brings springs of Living Water, to those who come and drink from it. May we come regularly that we may have life, both now and forever. You give us life.
Jesus said, “I came that they might have life, and have it abundantly”.

Chasing after the lusts of our selfish desires, will never lead to a life of peace and harmony. Mick Jaeger said it well as he pursued his own selfish desires. He said “I can’t get no satisfaction”. What will you choose…….Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth and life, no man comes to the Father God, except through me”. I pray that you choose life!
