The Word Lives!
"It is the spirit that
quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing:
the words that I speak unto you,
they
are spirit, and
they
are life."
John 6:63
I look forward each morning to my personal
Bible study and private prayer closet. Disciplined by the
Holy Spirit, this has been a part of my daily routine every
morning for some ten years or better. Although I cannot
possibly consider deviating from this practice, although,
sometimes I do get weak in the flesh. However, I am reminded
that the Word of God is the nourishment that my hungry soul
needs and desires. God made me that way for a purpose. Just
as we will sit down to the breakfast and dinner table today
and find the nourishment our physical body needs, God
designed us to crave after Him and the spiritual food that
He provides for us as Christian individuals. I have stated
on many occasions that each of us are at different levels of
knowledge and spiritual planes and therefore, we each have
different spiritual needs. God knows this and it is this
fact as to why it is so important for us to give God a
little of our time each day; give Him the time necessary to
attend to our spiritual needs personally as only can be
filled by the Holy Father, Himself. This is the least we can
do as good stewards of God’s holy temple, for our body is
the temple of God. It is God that feeds the smallest
sparrow, and it is God that meets your every need, no matter
how small or trivial we believe it to be. God desires for
His children not to suffer from malnourishment but to have
access to everything the Kingdom of God can offer, equipping
us for anything that comes our way. I believe there is
nothing worse that to be ill prepared to perform tasks or
unable to do so because of spiritual weakness. I need
physical and spiritual nourishment everyday to face each
day. It would be foolishness on my part if I did not prepare
for the day, would it not.
Let us pray:
Holy Father, I praise you for another day. I
praise you for the precious Word of God that cleanses me and
sanctifies me for your personal use. I thank you for the
time and opportunity to come into your presence at the
Throne of God with my petitions. I praise you this day for
my health and providing all my needs. I pray Father; please
make me a blessing to someone to by giving me the
opportunity to tell others what Christ has done for me. I
pray Father, that you bless my loved ones today and I thank
you for answered prayer. Go with me in this day and I praise
you for my daily bread, in Jesus’ name I pray, AMEN.
