Matthew 4:4 NLT, “But Jesus told him, “No! The Scriptures say, ‘People do not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.”
1 Peter 2:2 NLT, Like newborn babies, you must crave pure spiritual milk so that you will grow into a full experience of salvation. Cry out for this nourishment,
we’re reminded that life isn’t sustained solely by physical nourishment but also by the words from God’s mouth. Similarly, 1 Peter 2:2 compares our need for spiritual nourishment to that of a newborn craving milk.
Do not overlook the importance of feeding our souls through daily Bible reading.
Consider the analogy of going without food for a day, a week, or even a month. The consequences are dire; our physical health suffers, and prolonged starvation could lead to death. Similarly, depriving our souls of spiritual sustenance by neglecting the Bible can lead to spiritual malnourishment.
Just as our bodies need food every day, our souls require daily sustenance from the Word of God. Reading the Bible daily, including Sundays, offers profound benefits. Regular engagement with scripture fosters spiritual growth and deepens our relationship with God. It shapes our perspectives, strengthens our faith, and equips us to live lives reflective of His love and truth.
In a fast-paced world filled with distractions, it’s easy to overlook the significance of daily Bible reading. Yet, by prioritizing this practice, we invite God’s transformative power into our lives. Let’s commit to feeding our souls with the life-giving words of Scripture each day, knowing that in doing so, we nurture our spiritual well-being and draw closer to the heart of God.
