Jesus
answered, "It is written: 'Man does not live on bread alone, but on every
word that comes from the mouth of God.'"
Matthew
4:4
New
International Version
THOUGHTS ABOUT
TODAY'S VERSE
Like
Esau, we get so diverted by the mundane things of life, the growling of our
bellies, we forget the longer-range view of things. God's word, his written
word the Bible, his demonstrated Word in Jesus, and his proclaimed word in the
Gospel, are what can sustain us eternally.
MY PRAYER
True
and Faithful God, through your Holy Spirit create in me a hunger for your word
that is much more demanding of life than my hunger for food. I confess that at
times I have been distracted by the mundane things of life and have not sought
your word and have not nourished my soul. Please forgive me as I pledge myself
to be more attentive to your leading and your truth through your word. Through
Jesus I pray. Amen.
MAKE THE LORD YOUR
TRUST
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
“Blessed
is that man who makes the LORD his trust...”
(Psalm
40:4, NKJV)
TODAY’S WORD
Did
you know that trusting in the Lord is a decision we make just like we choose
anything else in life? You chose what you are wearing today, you probably chose
what you would have for breakfast, and you can choose to trust God every day,
too! When you choose to trust God, there is peace that settles in your heart.
There is joy because you know the outcome, and there is blessing in store for
you because your hope is sure.
No
matter what you are facing in life today, trust that Almighty God will come
through for you. Trust that His Word is always true. In Psalm 32, David calls
God his “hiding place.” In other words, when you place your trust in God, you
can find refuge in Him. You are actually hidden from the enemy when you choose
to trust.
Always
remember, when circumstances seem overwhelming, don’t look at what’s happening
around you; look to God. He is the author and finisher of your faith. Choose to
trust that He is the one who is ordering your steps. Find security in knowing
that He is making your crooked places straight and your rough places smooth.
Trust in Him and live in the blessing and everlasting life He has prepared for
you!
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Father
in heaven, today I choose to put my trust in You. I know You are a good and faithful
God, and I trust that You have my best interest at heart. Help me stay focused
on Your goodness today in Jesus’ name. Amen.
