luke 4

so as christians we know that we should be reading our Bible daily.
the Word of God is powerful and deep down we know it.

but every once in awhile as I am studying,
I happen upon something that blows my mind
today was one of those days....

remember when Satan is tempting Jesus in the dessert?
(40 days, no food, etc.)

this is from the application section of my Bible for Luke 4:

"By quoting Scripture back to Satan, Jesus demonstrates the centrality of God's word in defeating Satan's attacks and temptations."

very powerful for me and where i'm at.
i have a daily struggle i'm working through
and i know to fight it i have to stay in God's Word
this only confirmed & reminded me of what God's Spirit can do to our hearts
when we are committed and maintaining our relationship with Him
(prayer, study, worship, supplication)

aren't you thankful for this relationship we are allowed to have?
it is beyond powerful.
and nowhere near deserving.

I can say that feel conviction in this area of my life because I don't make it a priority like it should be. I think it's easy to come up with a bazillion excuses, but none of them are as important as having the Word in our day and being able to apply it to our lives :-) Thanks for this reminder!! You are an inspiration to me <3
