The Word That Gives Life

When Jesus was tempted in the wilderness after he had fasted and was hungry, he answered: “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God’” (Matthew 4:4). The soul grows hungry just as the body does, and grows weak just as it does. God's Word is not a duty to perform; it is bread that feeds you and breath that keeps you alive — begin your day with it before anything else.

Start with a small step: each morning read a few verses from the Gospel of John, and ask God to speak to you through them.
