God’s Word has life, gives life, and nourishes life. We should have appetites for the Word just like hungry newborn babes! We should want the pure Word, unadulterated, because this alone can help us grow

When I was a child, I did not like to drink milk (and my father worked for the Borden Dairy!), so my mother used to add various syrups and powders to make my milk tastier. None of them ever really worked.

It is sad when Christians have no appetite for God’s Word but must be “fed” religious entertainment instead. As we grow, we discover that the Word is milk for babes— and strong meat for the mature.

Today’s verse: “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God” (Matthew 4:4).

Other Scripture: Psalm 119:103; 1 Corinthians 3:1-4; Hebrews 11-14; 1 Peter 2:2.

Action assignment: Ask God to give you a greater appetite for His written Word, the Bible.
