but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.
(singing allelu, alleluia!)
Matthew 4:4
This means we must consume the Word of God, right?
Not long ago, I watched a man I know well talk to his young child for about eating enough at dinner. He said, "You'll be hungry later when it is not time to eat."
The response was, "This is hard to chew."
The father said, "Just chew it little by little, and soon you'll be able to take bigger bites."
Parents know this is true, we've been through it ourselves.
Even if you're not a parent, you know that had you not learned how to eat small bites you would never have developed a big enough apetite to live on.
Yet, I have heard that same man say those same words about Scripture.
"Its too much."
"I'm not much of a reader."
"Read a whole chapter in one day?!"
The Father says, "My words are sweeter than honey to your mouth."
Psalm 119:103
The father says, "Just chew it little by little, and soon you'll be able to take bigger bites."
The Lord bless you and may you feast today on His Words!
