In the Lord’s prayer, Jesus said, “Give us this day our daily bread.” Was He talking about food? I don’t think so. Rather, Jesus was referring to spiritual food, feeding our spirits with the Word of God. Jesus prayed that God would give it to us, but it’s up to us to take it in and eat.
I don’t know about you, but I don’t enjoy skipping meals. I hate to fast and don’t particularly enjoy dieting either. My body likes food. But I must realize that the same is true of my spiritual man. It likes food. When we starve our spirits of the Word of God, we are denying it the very nourishment that will give us focus and energy, strength and help.
In the next few months, we are going to focus our Sunday morning sermons on the word of God. We are going to give an overview of the Bible and then study a specific book. We live in a time where Bible illiteracy is the norm, even in the church. Let’s change that! But truthfully, you will never really learn the Bible unless you read it and study on your own. Feed your spirit and your soul everyday by reading the Bible. “They Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path.” Psalm 119:105

Just want to say thank you! for all the great info found on your blog, even helped me with my work recently
keep it up!
I was just chatting with my coworker about this today at lunch . Don’t know how in the world we got on the topic really, they brought it up. I do remember having a wonderful chicken salad with sunflower seeds on it. I digress…
I was just doing some surfing on my iPhone during my break at my work place, and I came across something I thought was interesting . It linked to your site so I hopped over. I can’t really figure out the relevance between your site and the one I came from, but your site good anyway.
Hey, I think your very on point with this, I can’t say I agree with you completely , but its not really that big of a deal .
I can’t find how to subscribe to the comments via my reader . I want to keep on top of this, how do I do that?
I don’t know either. Sorry.
Thanks for some good points there. I am kind of new to web surfing, so I printed this off to put in my file, any better way to go about keeping track of it then printing?
Thanks for sharing. Share is caring after all.
