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.

We live in a time where Bible illiteracy is the norm, even in the church. Let’s change that! Truthfully, you will never really learn the Bible unless you read it and study on your own. You will never learn to recognize God’s voice unless you feed your mind and your heart with His words on a regular basis. Feed your spirit and your soul every single day by reading the Bible. Be diligent. Be disciplined. Be determined. Read the Word of God. “Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path.” Psalm 119:105
