The exhortaion for today, the spiritual application of yesterday's practical one is to eat of God's Bread- daily. Eat of it till the Word becomes a part of you, till it makes up the fibers of your sinew and muscles of your heart.
"Man shall not live by bread alone
but by every word that comes from the Father in heaven."
-Matthew 4:4
Surround yourself with it.
In a practical sense place index cards above your kitchen sink and bathroom mirror. Have your bible handy by your favorite chair. Read the Word together after dinner while everyone surrounds the table.
And dear blogger-reader- read it for yourself. Do not depend on receiving your daily spiritual manna from what you read on blogs. Grab the Book and read it to yourself.
Jesus said that we are kept alive by its daily consumption. Are you full or hungry?

Great encouragement to surround ourselves with the Bread of Life. Thanks for sharing!
You hit a little nerve when you said that about reading the Bible instead of depending on blogs for inspiration. All too often I am guilty of that. Thanks for pointing out my need for spiritual food from the TRUE source. Blessings to you...
A little conviction goes a long way. Your words hit home with me like they did with Keri. I need to spend more time reading the word instead of reading about the word. I plan to get filled up today.
