More Than Food (1:1)

For a while now, I have wanted to start a yearly devotion for myself. Over the past couple of weeks God has revealed to me that I really need to involve Brendon in my daily devotions. I need to be a better follower and parent in showing my child what it means to follow Christ. (Up to the point, I have not been doing a very good job).......So the search began....finding a good Family Devotion book to at least get us started.

Off to the store I go.....I stumble across "Devotions for Real Life" by Melody Carlson. I read the first day....and it seems like it might hold the interest of a teenager.....it got my attention as well! Then....I decide to purchase this book....and even better....IT WAS ON SALE. Anyone who knows me...knows I love to bargain shop! This was God's way of telling me that I picked the right book.

So.....today.....we start our new Journey....."Devotions for Real Life". I will attempt to blog about each nightly devotions.
WEEK 1 - DAY 1 (More Than Food)

"Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God"

Matthew 4:4

 



Usually, you think that you cannot survive without food. Reality is, you can survive without food....you cannot survive without GOD and God's words. We need to turn to God and rely on him to get us through the day.

 

The hard part is realizing that you need God. When you are hungry, your stomach tells you that you need food....but its not always obvious that you need God and God's words.

 

"I have hidden your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you"

Psalm 119:11

 

I need God's words more than I need food!
