Title: Nourished by the Word
For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart – Hebrews 4:12
Imagine going to the grocery store every day for forty years and always finding just one thing to eat—a whitish wafer with a slightly sweet taste. This was what the Israelites experienced as they traveled through the wilderness for forty years before reaching the land of Canaan.
Jesus used manna to show His role as the true Bread of Life from heaven. Just as God gave the Israelites manna each day to nourish them, we are meant to be nourished daily by turning to Jesus, the Bread of Life.
Let’s remember to set aside time each day to be nourished by reading and reflecting on God’s living and written Word.
