God’s Voice: The Gentle Whisper After the FireNäide

“His Words Give Life”

But Jesus answered, “The scripture says, ‘Human beings cannot live on bread alone, but need every word that God speaks.’” (Matthew 4:4 GNT)

This is one of my favorite verses in the entire Bible because it’s a very powerful reminder of how vital it is for us to not only partake of the Word of God every day, but to savor, revel in, and meditate upon the truth of its promises to us.

Jesus said that true life is found in every word that constantly proceeds from the Lord’s mouth. Without a doubt, we can accept His words as truth and take them to heart. If Jesus, Himself said that He only does what He sees the Father doing, then we as followers of Christ should desire to listen, watch, learn, and follow the Lord’s lead even more so.

I leave you with this verse to pause and reflect upon… 

What a God you are! Your path for me has been perfect! All your promises have proven true. What a secure shelter for all those who turn to hide themselves in You! You are the wrap-around God giving grace to me. (Psalm 18:30 TPT)
