Let's take a moment to reflect on the life of Jesus and how he showed us how to live. In Matthew chapter four, Jesus is led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. Despite fasting for 40 days and 40 nights, Jesus stands firm in his faith and responds to the devil's temptations with the powerful words, "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God." 

This verse reminds us that our physical needs are not the only things that require nourishment; our spirit also requires the word of God to thrive. As we face our own temptations and challenges in life, we can look to Jesus as an inspiration for how to stay strong in our faith. Let us remember that with the power of God's word, we can overcome any obstacle that comes our way.

The word of God is food for our soul, and according to the scriptures, it is the book of law that directs and guides us. It can pull down strongholds and strengthen the weak. So, getting familiar with this word is like arming ourselves with a powerful tool. We cannot navigate life without God's word; we could get lost or stuck. Knowing what this word entails is a confirmation of our identity in Christ. In this episode, I share why reading God's word is important and how to go about it.
