God Speaks through Moses 

“Man does not live by bread alone, but man lives by every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD.” 

   Deut. 8:3

Deuteronomy 8:3 teaches us that The word of the Lord when planted in good soil produces abundant, life-giving fruit (Matthew 13:20-22) 

We have in Scripture a feast that satisfies the deepest places of our hearts no food or drink could ever satiate.

When you open your Bible, you are literally opening the words of God. Scripture is God’s voice available for you in every moment, situation, and predicament you face. You can know God desires to speak to you because you have in your possession his voice through the Bible. God desires to reveal to you his will because he has given you his Spirit to “guide you into all the truth, for He will not speak on his own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak, and He will declare to you the things that are to come”

 (John 16:13)

When you read Scripture with the help of your teacher, the Holy Spirit, the Bible is no longer just a book written thousands of years ago but a source of life-giving revelation. Read the Bible prayerfully, paying attention to any words, phrases, or ideas that stand out to you. Allow God to apply Scripture directly to your life through his Spirit. And as you read, submit yourself to God’s word with a continual “yes” in your heart. Choose to be a doer of the word that you might be blessed in everything you do 

James 1:22-25 

Father God, build up our faith and strengthen us against temptation through Your holy word as we study Your scriptures. Open our eyes to help us see that we do not live by bread alone, but by every word which proceeds from Your mouth, words which will not return to You void. May we abide in You as we meditate upon Your word. We ask this in Jesus’ name, Amen
