Breakfast with Jesus 1/27/11 (sick days aren't so bad)

Good morning Jesus what should i eat for breakfast today? Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.'" Luke4:4

I’ve been in a sort of dry spell lately partly because I haven’t been asking and waiting on God for my food and water, and somewhere along the way I did what the Israelites did. I did exactly what Moses warned them not to do. I forgot to live at every moment in reverent awe of my God who Saves, who speaks stars into existence, I somehow forgot to live in complete submission to God’s will, because I stopped taking the time to wait on his Spirit and to listen to his word. (thanks Jon for Rebuking me about my laziness masquerading as business… I don’t need 8 hours of sleep for my God is able to make me stand)

I realize that God had not left me alone in the wilderness he was there providing Manna to sustain me, His holy spirit was still there giving me fresh water but it was I who choose to only drink a few sips at a time.

God’s word shall be my food. And doing his work shall be what satisfies me and I shall let his Holy spirit be the water I drink, the river I drown in.

"The whole commandment that I command you today you shall be careful to do, that you may live and multiply, and go in and possess the land that the LORD swore to give to your fathers. And you shall remember the whole way that the LORD your God has led you these forty years in the wilderness, that he might humble you, testing you to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep his commandments or not. And he humbled you and let you hunger and fed you with manna, which you did not know, nor did your fathers know, that he might make you know that man does not live by bread alone, but man lives by every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD. Your clothing did not wear out on you and your foot did not swell these forty years. Know then in your heart that, as a man disciplines his son, the LORD your God disciplines you. So you shall keep the commandments of the LORD your God by walking in his ways and by fearing him. For the LORD your God is bringing you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and springs, flowing out in the valleys and hills, a land of wheat and barley, of vines and fig trees and pomegranates, a land of olive trees and honey, a land in which you will eat bread without scarcity, in which you will lack nothing, a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills you can dig copper. And you shall eat and be full, and you shall bless the LORD your God for the good land he has given you. "Take care lest you forget the LORD your God by not keeping his commandments and his rules and his statutes, which I command you today,

(Deu 8:1-11)
