Precious Moments That Count For EternitySample

The Divine Vitamin

Today, people are very cautious about the intake of food, which only builds up the physical body. Even if we have a sumptuous breakfast, we feel hungry after a few hours. The hunger of worldly bread-eaters is never satisfied. But those who eat the living bread, that is the Word of God, will never experience hunger. Jesus said, “I am the living bread which came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever.” (John 6:51a)
The Bible says, “Man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.” (Matthew 4:4) It is true. When we consume worldly food, we gain energy and strength. But to oppose the enemy, the liar, the peace snatcher of this world, mere physical strength won’t help us in any way. Young David could slay the mighty and huge Goliath, not with his physical strength, but with the divine vitamin - the living Word, the name of the Lord Almighty.
By eating the living bread, we get strength in our spirit to overcome the world, flesh and enemy. The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. (John 6:63a NIV).
Heaven and earth will pass away but God’s Words will by no means pass away. We need to dwell on the Word of God and meditate on it, which will really be food for us as well as a solution to every difficulty we face.

Prayer
Lord, help me to nourish my soul with the divine vitamin that is, Your Word. Amen
