GLORIOUS GRACE! - 61

John 6:63 - It is the spirit that gives life; the flesh is useless. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life.

The Bible tells us that God breathed into man and he became a living being. (Genesis 2:7) and the Word of God is living and active (Heb 4:12); {also read 2 Timothy 3:16}. This means that when you read the Bible or listen to God’s Word preached, you are imbibing the very breath of God which gives you life.

That is why there may have been times you walked into church or prayer meeting, feeling tired at first, but left at the end of the service feeling refreshed and energized. God’s Word had breathed life into your body! You will become healthier, stronger and even looking younger, because you spend time in God’s Word and in prayer.

Proverbs 4:22 tells us that God’s words are “life to those who find them, and health to all their flesh”. So if certain symptoms are attacking your body, double up on God’s medicine. Simply feed more on God’s Word, and you will find life and health flowing through your body again.

Jesus said that man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God (Mt 4:4). He made us, so He knows best what our bodies need daily.  If it is important to eat our meals every day, how much more feeding on God’s Word?

So whatever you do, remember to get your daily feeding of God’s Word. Choose whichever form (Read, listen) you prefer and get His Word into you!

Thought for the day!
We cannot live when we stop breathing. In the same way, we cannot live well without the Word because it is the very breath of God which gives us life and health!
