"Dont Mix it Up"

"...man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD." Deut. 8:3

How many times have a I gone going through a desert situation in life, a place of scarceness, a place of hunger, fatigue, even frustration. It wasn't by the provision alone that sustained the Israelites for forty years in the desert it was the Word of God. I know in my life I've confused provision with the word at times. I've looked for an event, for a blessing for something physical to keep me going but truly what I need is something to help me spiritually. The spiritual part of our life is the most important so I need to make it priority but so many times I pay attention to the physical man "what I don't have", "what I need", "what I don't see". What the spiritual man needs is the word. The word helps us grow, it reveals God and His plan for my life and this is what I truly need when going through a desert situation.

Provision is part of the covenant. God is our provider no matter what, He will do it, don't just look for provision for the physical man but look for a word for the spiritual man. The provision fell from the sky for Israelites and they collected it daily, little effort was involved. The word is different you have to look for it, dig for it and seek it out daily much effort is involved for when "we seek we shall find". When you receive the word of God into your life, apply it, live it out and hide it in your heart to remain obedient to it. "Materialism, which gives priority to material needs and objects, is obviously the opposite of spirituality"

Lord thank you for speaking to my heart and life today. Let my life be attentive to every word that comes from your mouth. For it's your word that truly gives me life. In Jesus Name. -amen
