God’s Word Feeds Us
Just as a newborn needs milk, you need the “milk” of the Bible for spiritual growth (1). The Bible frees us from old, unhealthy thinking (2) and fills our hearts with truth. Reading and meditating on God’s Word will help you overcome temptations (3) and live a spiritually blessed and prosperous life (4,5).
Start with the Gospel of Mark, then John, then Acts then read Matthew and continue through the New Testament.
Your Bible guides you in every area—from salvation to relationships, temptation, spiritual warfare, and eternity (6). Choose a translation you enjoy (NIV, NLT, NKJV, KJV).
Set a goal for daily reading (7). Try reading in the morning and reflecting on the passage all day (8).
Prayer:
“Lord, open my mind to Your Word, give me understanding and strength. Help me build my life on Your truth.”
Reflection:
Write what God teaches you today. Join a Bible study or ask a church leader for guidance on growing in the Word.
