Put The Word First

                                                           Our  Daily Bread                                 
I can't think of any thing in life that is more important than our priorities. If we want to live under the Lordship of Christ, our priories must be in order. When we understand what the Word Of God is, it should revolutionize the way we approach and apply it to our life. In the gospel of John we find this life changing truth.

John chapter 1

 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.

14 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.

We learn from these scriptures that Jesus and the Word are one. The Bible is not just a book of rules and religious stuff  but a living book that brings the reality of the living God to your life. When we grasp this truth, it brings us to a decision to put the Word first place in our life. We can not have Jesus number one without the Word being first place. Because Jesus and the Word are one and the same.

Jesus taught us that He is the Bread Of Heaven he nourishes us. The main way this happens is receiving our "daily bread".

Our Lord revealed to us a pattern for prayer in Luke 11:3 Give us day by day our daily bread. When Jesus was tempted by satan in the wilderness Jesus responded to the enemy’s temptation of turning a rock into bread by declaring this truth. Matthew4: Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. These two truths reveal a essential message to us for experiencing the life of God. We need to partake of our daily bread Christ, The Living Bread, who is the Word Of God. The Holy Spirit will minister the Living Word to our life’s as we spend time in the Word each day.

It takes time.

Though time with the Lord is time well spent. Fellowship with God is our highest purpose. We grow in intamacy with the Lord during those precious times we spend with Him in prayer and in His Word. The Father wants to share his heart with us and reveal His Goodness to us. His provision for all mankind has already been made available to us through Christ. And we get to know and experience all of this as we receive His Word.
