On a cold day, have you ever tried breathing on your hands to restore warmth and life? That\u2019s like what happens when you meditate on God\u2019s Word, because \u2018all Scripture is God-breathed\u2019.<\/i> Imagine yourself at a party where people are blowing up balloons and popping them with pins. A scientist could figure out which balloon was yours because your DNA (the genetic configuration that makes you unique) is in the lung cells expelled with your breath. Now apply that principle to reading the Bible, and you will understand how vital it is to your spiritual life. <\/p>\n
John tells us \u2018the Word was God\u2019<\/i> (John\u00a01:1\u00a0NKJV), so anytime you ingest God\u2019s Word, you\u2019re ingesting His attributes. That\u2019s why the Enemy will try to keep you so busy that you have no time to read your Bible. The truth is, many of the issues we struggle with could be resolved or eliminated altogether if we developed a hunger for God\u2019s Word. Job said, \u2018I have not departed from His commands, but have treasured His words more than daily food.\u2019<\/i> (Job\u00a023:12\u00a0NLT) <\/p>\n
Jeremiah, who was so dejected that he became known as \u2018the weeping prophet\u2019, said, \u2018Your words were found, and I ate them, and Your word was to me the joy and rejoicing of my heart.\u2019<\/i> (Jeremiah\u00a015:16\u00a0NKJV) <\/p>\n
Jesus experienced every test and trial known to man; He even went toe-to-toe with the Tempter. What was the secret of His strength? He said, \u2018It is written, \u201cMan shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.\u201d\u2019<\/i> (Matthew\u00a04:4\u00a0NKJV) Today get God\u2019s Word into you\u2014it\u2019s His\u00a0DNA. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
