Forgive us Lord, when we try and use our own fancy words of persuasion. What we need is your Word. As Romans says, it is the power of God unto Salvation. It is truly what need for transformation of ourselves as well as others. May we drink deeply from this well of Living Waters.

For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. Hebrews‬ ‭4:12‬‬

Let us look to the book of life that are the very words of God. It is here in our times alone with him and his presence, that we will find the words of life. Science and mental health professionals are not what this world needs for living each day. Their words are man’s words, not Gods.

God wants you to speak to him, with a heart that seeks him, and wants to know him more. He does not want some ritualist repitition. He also wants you to know him. The Bible tells us all that we need to know about him. Meditate on his word and tell him what’s on your heart and the Holy Spirit will guide and teach you.

Jesus Temptation in the Wilderness by Satan

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.
