Using God’s Word with Purpose

When Jesus was tempted in the wilderness, He responded not with His own words but with the Scriptures, saying, “It is written.” This powerful example reminds us that God’s Word is our ultimate authority and guide. It sustains us, gives us strength, and directs our steps.

“It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.'”

– Matthew 4:4 NKJV

Jesus demonstrated that in moments of challenge and temptation, turning to Scripture provides clarity and fortitude. He showed us that the Bible is a living, breathing source of wisdom and strength.

Let God’s Word be your daily guide, a source of life and truth that equips you for every situation.

Just as we rely on food for physical nourishment, we are to rely on God’s Word for spiritual sustenance. It provides the wisdom we need to navigate life’s challenges, the comfort to soothe our sorrows, and the guidance to make righteous decisions.

In our daily lives, we often face situations that test our patience, integrity, or faith. In these moments, we can follow Jesus’ example by grounding ourselves in Scripture. The Bible is filled with God’s promises, commands, and teachings, which are as relevant today as they were when first written. By immersing ourselves in His Word, we prepare ourselves to respond to life’s trials not in fear or confusion but with confidence and faith.

Today’s One Thing
