Week 1-June 1-7
“People need more than bread for their life; they must feed on every word of God.” Matthew 4:4
In my quest to be filled with more of Christ and His word I have decided over the next 52 weeks or 365 days I will begin to Study, Store, Apply, Live and Share the word of God which I will refer to as S.S.A.L.S. Each week as the Lord leads and picks Scripture for me I will focus on that one passage for the next 7 days. My prayer is that I will grow deeper in love with Christ, gain more understanding of Him and His word, develop and apply wisdom and have a heart that is completely transformed inside out.
I daily get into the word of God but I want more than just to read and walk away. I want to walk away wearing the word of God. I want to spend the next 365 days developing a love relationship with Christ that is full of intimacy, joy, fulfillment, contentment, excitement, passionate, and that leaves us both knowing more and more about each other. I want to be the bride that pleases my groom in every way and to do that I need to know everything there is to know about Him, what He likes and dislikes, what makes His heart full and what hurts His heart. I need to know how He likes and wants to be served, and how I can show Him the utmost respect, honor, and praise.
Throughout these next 52 weeks I hope to share with you all the good, not so good, the revelations, and the amazing insights and blessings that will come from this exciting journey with the Lord.
I would love to have you join me, if you are up for the challenge shoot me a comment, I would love to hear how the Lord is working and changing you inside and out.
Our first week begins with a verse we are all very familiar with Matthew 4:4, and what a great passage to start with. Physically we do need food to survive but spiritually it is God’s word that will leave us filling full and satisfied.
How can I get to the point in my life when I really begin feeding on the word of God? I want to get to a place where I run to God’s word to be fed when I feel the hunger pains strike. And I don’t mean actual hunger pains; I mean the type of hunger pains like anger, irritability, sadness, frustration, confusion, jealousy, and pride hunger pains, the ones that creep up and leave a sick feeling inside. The ones that grown so loud other people can hear them.
I want to feed those hunger pains with God’s word and not with what they want to be fed, which we all know they feed on more of themselves.
So this week as I S.S.A.L.S Matthew 4:4 I am going to run to the best home cooking food known to man-God’s word and feast on it until I can’t even function!
Prayer: Lord I come running to the table ready to sit and take in all that You have prepared for me. As I chew all that is on my plate I ask that my heart will digest all of this passage absorbing within every space, crook and nanny available pushing out all the junk food. Amen
