Bible Verse of The Day – 9-9-19

Matthew 4:4 (NKJV) 4 But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’ ”

Jesus used the word of God to defend Himself against the temptations that the devil was hitting Him with. He didn’t go into long speeches or enter into debates with him. He simply spoke the word of God.

If Jesus did this, how much more important is it that we get the word of God in us and so we can use it as a weapon against the enemy?

We need the word of God in our lives on a daily basis.

Hebrews 4:12 (NKJV) 12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

It’s not just a coincidence that those who spend the most time in God’s word usually have a stronger walk with God.

On a recent fishing trip, I was having a discussion of Biblical topics with one of the men on my boat. He made a statement that was interesting. He said that he did some studying of people who moved in the gift of healing and found that one of the strongest common threads among all of them was the amount of time they spent in the word of God.

We obviously shouldn’t spend time in the Word solely with an expectation of becoming a prophet, or to attain any other spiritual gift or office. But the fact that most of these people do spend large amounts of time in God’s word helps to prove the need for it in all of our lives.

God’s word builds our trust in Him, thereby giving us stronger faith. And this just makes us stronger each and every day in so many different ways.
