Affirmation of God: I live on every word that comes from the mouth of God.

Today’s Scripture: Matthew 4:4 ESV: But he answered, “It is written, “‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.'”

I have certainly found life in the Word of God but have quite a ways to go to live on every word. The Spirit is helping me and leading me but I am yet to be up to the challenge of evil and myself.

As the Spirit led Jesus into the wilderness He is leading us. As Jesus fasted for forty days and nights we are also being prepared. The tempter showed up when Jesus was at his weakest and yet the word of God saved Him when His flesh was reduced.

I pray to be prepared by every word of God. I am yet to be up to the challenge. I still fail when I am at my best. I trust the leading of the Spirit and I will follow Jesus and continue to grow in maturity to past the test. Then I will be living!

Are you equipping yourself with the Word of God?

Today’s Prayer: Father God, thank You for Your Spirit and for Your Word. Forgive me for my weakness and my sins. Help me to grow and live on Your every word. Prepare me against the tempter. Strengthen me with Your Word to past the test. You and Your Word are my life. Amen
