But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.’” Matthew 4:4
Christians are suffering a famine because so many pulpits aren’t feeding their flocks the heavenly bread. If you’re not feeding on the Bible daily, you’re either not saved or you’re dying of spiritual malnutrition. Our strength is found when we feed upon the Word of God.
Job said, “I have esteemed the words of His mouth more than my necessary food” (Job 23:12). Job was saying that if he had to choose between eating physical bread or spiritual bread, he would rather have the Word of God.
I pray that everyone reading this will commit to a daily routine of exercising on their knees in prayer and feeding with the nutritious bread of God’s Word.
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
