John 6:47-48
“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me has everlasting life. I am the bread of life.”
The verse for today emphasises the importance of the Word of God. The Lord Jesus draws an interesting comparison between His Word and food. Just like food is essential for the nourishment of our body, God’s Word brings about spiritual nourishment. We need to eat daily; what we ate yesterday cannot satisfy us today. Similarly, we need God’s Word every day. It is important to allocate quality time to be in His presence daily. It will help us draw strength to face each day and renew our faith.
We live in a world that thrives on debauchery. Danger is lurking everywhere. It is impossible for us to dodge the wiles of this world without the guidance of the Scripture. His Word is a weapon that protects us. It equips us to not only face our enemies but also conquer them. It is the shield that safeguards us from an attack.
Therefore, let us be wise and stay connected with God and His Word every day. Take a few minutes off your busy schedule and spend some time with Him. Allow His Word to manifest in your life and give you victory in all things. It is the only way to live.
Prayer: Dear Lord, even though I live in a sinful and hateful world, I will triumph through Your Word. Your Word protects me and makes me feel safe. Your Word is my weapon. In Jesus’ name, Amen!
