NOT JUST BREAD! (Lenten Reading #4)

4
Sat., Feb 25
Mt. 4: 4. NOT JUST BREAD

“Man shall not live by bread alone,” Jesus said, reminding us that there's more to life than the earthly, horizontal plane. To clarify, Jesus continued, telling us that the vertical plane of communication with God is vital, “...not by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.”

Let's encourage one another to pursue prayer and study of God's word. Agree with a reliable friend or family member to check in with you, asking you how you're doing in feeding yourself spiritual food.

Going without some favorite food during Lent might be just the right reminder that “soul food” is more important than meat and potatoes! Let's eat!

Prayer: Lord Jesus, increase my hunger for prayer, for Your truths. Help me to be a good example to those around me, and to speak the truth with love and encouragement. Amen.
