Devotions: Not By Bread Alone

Day 1: The Bread that Sustains

Scripture Reading: Deuteronomy 8:1-3 

Reflection: Just as God provided manna to sustain the Israelites, He provides His Word to sustain us today. It’s not just about physical bread but about the spiritual nourishment that comes from every word from God’s mouth. Consider how you’ve been feeding your soul lately. Are you relying on God’s Word as your daily bread? 

Prayer: Lord, help me to see Your Word as my source of life. Give me a hunger for Your truth each day.

September 29 Sermon: Not By Bread Alone

Imagine someone conducting a 30-day experiment that for an entire month, they decide to give up on all solid food and survive on nothing but water. At first, they might feel okay. Maybe they would be confident that they can handle this. They just need to get used to it. But as the days pass this person's body would start to weaken.

Devotions: A Lamp Unto My Feet

Day 1: God's Word Is Accessible

Scripture Reading: Deuteronomy 30:11-14
Reflection: God's Word is not hidden or out of reach—it is near, knowable, and written for us to understand. Just as Moses reminded Israel that God’s commands were not too difficult to grasp, we are also invited to engage with Scripture, trusting that God wants us to know Him and His will.
Prayer: Lord, thank You for making Your Word accessible to us. Help me to engage with it daily and to understand the truths You have for my life. Amen.
