Today’s Faith Action Item – Speak It

desert dark cloudsJesus Christ spent forty days in the desert.  As we know from the story, he was tempted greatly there by Satan.  How did Jesus respond?  He spoke the Word of God.  Each time Satan tried to lure Jesus into sin, Jesus responded by verbally quoting the Scriptures.  Satan eventually gave up.

This is the model that Jesus has illustrated for us.

When we are tempted we can respond by quoting the Word of God.  However, in order to do that successfully, we have to know the Word. Bible verses should be memorized that we can quote on a dime.  Spending time reading the Bible every day is vital to our success.

Faith Action Item for Today – Open That Book

But Jesus told him “No! The Scriptures say, ‘People do not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.” ~ Matthew 4:4

Are you reading the Holy Bible every day?  If not, make a point to start on one book of the Holy Bible and read through it in one week’s time.  A book like Romans is a good starting point as there are many vital lessons for life presented there by Paul.

Another idea is with Proverbs.  That book of the Old Testament has 31 chapters.  There are, of course, 31 days in most months. One chapter a day for one month.

Are the words from the “mouth of God” worth 5 to 10 minutes of your time each day?  Start today.
