Today’s Scripture: But Jesus told him, “No! The Scriptures say, ‘People need more than bread for their life; they must feed on every word of God.’ “Matthew4:4 NLT
Have you ever thought that God remains silent? Have you ever been where I was in being confused that God never speaks? I do recall the frustration of crying out to God and hearing nothing in return. I would say God, why did you create me and now make it where I can’t hear you?
As I read this morning that Jesus responded to the temptations of the devil by saying THE SCRIPTURES SAY… Yes, LORD they do and we must feed on every word of God. FEED ON EVERY WORD. Feeding is necessary for our existence isn’t it? Do you hear God speak through the scriptures?
I no longer doubt that God speaks. This affirmation journey fuels me like no other food and my heart jumps as His Word speaks. He always spoke but I didn’t always listen correctly. I listened with my ears instead of allowing the Holy Spirit to fill me with the power to hear the Scriptures in my heart. If you can’t hear him go and see what the scriptures say. Do you hear?
Today’s Prayer: Father God, thank You for your Holy Scriptures. Thank You for speaking through them. Help me to feed on every word. Please write these words in my heart, in my mind and in my soul. Thank You for showing Yourself to me in Your Word and I pray I can share Your power and Your voice to others. Give me the courage to act immediately on what I hear. Amen
