"But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory both now and forever. Amen" -- 2 Peter 3:18 / New King James Version
Have you established a passionate relationship with God's Holy Word? Hopefully so. The words of Matthew 4:4 remind us that "Man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God" (KJV). As believers, we must study the Bible and mediate upon its meaning for our lives. Otherwise, we deprive ourselves of a priceless gift from our Creator.
Martin Luther observed, "The Bible is alive, it speaks to me; it has feet, it runs after me; it has hands, it lays hold of me. The Bible is not antique or modern. It is eternal." God's Holy Word is, indeed, an eternal, transforming, one-of-a-kind treasure. And, a passing acquaintance with the Good Book is insufficient for Christians who seek to obey God's Word and to understand His will - passionate believers must never live by bread alone.

Dear Lord, the Bible is Your gift to us; let us use it. When we place Your Word at the very center of our life, we are blessed. Make us a faithful student of Your Word so that we might be a faithful servant in Your world this day and every day. Amen
