”But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’ ”“
Matthew 4:4
Here as Jesus was being tempted by Satan Jesus gives us a major key to life as followers of Him….”every word”! Gods word is more important that anything for us as it is the guidebook for life God has given us. Read it, meditate on it, learn it, obey it!!

”Then He spoke a parable to them, that men always ought to pray and not lose heart,“
Luke 18:1
When we are walking with Jesus we must do as Jesus taught us here…always pray! That is our communication line and keeps us in touch with God. Not lose heart….we will have difficult times so we keep the faith and keep living for Jesus!
Both of these are keys to the abundant life in Christ…practice them daily!

”But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.“
James 1:22
May we all do what God tells us here in this verse! Be a doer of His word not just a listener!
Chew on that!

”The four living creatures, each having six wings, were full of eyes around and within. And they do not rest day or night, saying: “Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, Who was and is and is to come!”“
Revelation 4:8
In heaven the seraphim praise the Lord constantly. A reminder to us of how great our God truly is!!! May we understand the holiness and greatness of God as well and constantly lift up the praise He deserves and live our lives in worship and service to our God that brings Him glory!!! Amen!

”Let us know, Let us pursue the knowledge of the Lord.
Hosea 6:3a
For us to be who God calls us to be we must know and continue to pursue the knowledge God has for us to gain in His Word! This takes diligent study of His Word and time in prayer.
Ask yourself, do I know God and His Word like He desires me too? If not it’s time to get to work!!!

”You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.“
Psalms 16:11
Only ONE path to God and that is a personal relationship with Jesus! Only ONE way for full joy and that is following Jesus! Only ONE way for pleasures forevermore and that is to be at the right hand of God in heaven in which to get there you must be covered by the blood of Jesus.
Jesus is everything…never forget that!
Tom
”For this is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.“
Matthew 26:28
The only way we have forgiveness of sins is by the blood of Jesus!! Nothing else will do!!
