A Prayer for Bread by Shellie Rushing Tomlinson

God’s Word was never meant to be rushed through like a quick snack between tasks.In today's episode, Shellie Rushing Tomlinson reminds us of Jesus's encouragement Matthew 4:4 that we don’t live on physical food alone. Our souls need spiritual nourishment too. Just as our bodies need time to digest food, our hearts and minds need time to meditate on God’s Word so it can truly shape who we are.When we slow down, reflect, and carry Scripture with us throughout the day, God’s truth becomes more than words we read—it becomes life within us.

Reference: Matthew 4:4

Prayer: Heavenly Father, forgive me for all the times I've snacked on your word like it's just another part of the food pyramid instead of acknowledging that your words are life remind me that i'm not eating the bread of life as a service for you i'm reading it so i can know you better and love you more in Jesus name we pray amen
