Every word that comes forth from the mouth of God

“The tempter approached and said to him,  “If you are the Son of God, command that these stones become loaves of bread.” He said in reply, “It is written: One does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes forth from the mouth of God.”” (MT 4: 3-4)

We should focus as much time as we can on Scripture, so we can appreciate the beauty of God’s word. He reminds us how powerful His words are–more important than bread—“One does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes forth from the mouth of God.” When we read His words daily and when we spent even only a few minutes meditating on them, we become closer to Him, and His strength comes to us.

“One does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes forth from the mouth of God.” (Gospel Acclamation)
