“If only God would give me some clear sign! Like making a large deposit in my name at a Swiss bank.” Woody Allen

"It is written, "'Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’” Jesus

Today’s bread is largely printed on paper or at least we live as if it is. It is no surprise then that money is nicked named “Bread.” Jesus lovingly directs us to live on Heaven’s bread and fresh baked bread at that. He did not tell us to live on words that “came” from God’s mouth but on words that “come” from His mouth. It almost seems contradictory that He begins this encouragement by the words, “It is written,” until you realize how Jesus viewed the Scriptures. He tells us to listen to the Scriptures and in them find the fresh baked bread of God’s word. The Scriptures are living and active, God not only spoke them to their original audience but also continues to speak in them to any who will but listen. When I read the Bible, am I listening to God or just reading a book. 7/7/2010 Conversations Within ts
