Mouth!!#4



As we continue to day to look at the mouth, so far we have been looking at our own mouths. Today I want us to take a moment to think about something God tells us about His mouth that we need to pay very close attention to! Look at this verse:

Deuteronomy 8:3
3 And he humbled you and let you hunger and fed you with manna, which you did not know, nor did your fathers know, that he might make you know that man does not live by bread alone, but man lives by every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord.

Go takes care of his followers needs but He tells us here there is something more important than our physical needs and that is His Word and our obedience! He demands that we know His Word, listen to it, and then obey it. Our lives hinge on these Words from God. Are you living from the Words of God or from words of men? To live a life that is pleasing to God and to live a life to God's design which of course is best for us, we must obey God's Word!!!

Someone very important also told us how important living by every Word from God is here:

Matthew 4:1-4
Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.2 And after fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. 3 And the tempter came and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command these stones to become loaves of bread.” 4 But he answered, “It is written,
“‘Man shall not live by bread alone,
but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”

Jesus was starving here! So He is demonstrating here the importance of the Word of God here for us! No matter what, follow and obey what comes from the mouth of God!!!! The bible is the mouth of God for us. Do you know it? Do you read it? Is it a priority in your life? From what we see here today it had better be!!!!

Live by the Word of God!
