Matthew 4
Matthew 4:4 (The Message)
Jesus answered by quoting Deuteronomy: “It takes more than bread to stay alive. It takes a steady stream of words from God’s mouth.”
I love how The Message Bible puts this: In order to stay alive, it takes a steady stream of words from God’s mouth. I love it. And I was thinking, being in the information age, we have a steady stream of words coming at us at all times. But it’s just not God’s words. Which requires us to turn off one valve to open another. In order to nurture spiritual life, what valve may the Lord be asking you to turn down today, in order to turn up God’s steady stream of words to you?
