LIVING ACCORDING TO THE WORD

I greet you all with the peace of the Lord. For today, Tuesday 30 January 2024, the biblical verse from which the thought I want to share is inspired is found written in:
Luke 4:4 (NIV)

“Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone.’ ” ”

Man needs bread to live his physical life and he needs spiritual bread, that is, the Word of God, for his spiritual life. Just as physical bread is necessary for daily life, so the Word of God is necessary for anyone to live a spiritual life. The word of God is health and strength for our spirit.
We are made spiritually alive by every word of God. Meditating on the word of God is of great help to our spiritual life. The Bible calls a person blessed who meditates day and night on the word of God. David said that he hid the word of God in his heart so that he would not sin. The word of God within us encourages us during our trials. We must daily nourish ourselves with His word.
The word of God is like finding green pastures where the sheep and flock eat their fill. We take our joy in the word of God and live our spiritual life in accordance with it.

This morning we want to pray together saying: Heavenly Father, thank You for Your word. Thank you for how you teach and educate me. Help me to do Your will in everything. In the Name of Jesus... Amen!
With love, Ivano Salerno
