Thursday's Living Water

I just wanted to make a note on these postings. Some of you may be early risers and want to begin your day with these small devotions! They are posted the night before for just that reason. Also, there can be delays with the notification by email of when the post goes up. Again, note that I am posting these the night before and it is beyond me how that info finds its way on these data streams. It is amazing to me how these tools can help us seek His Word. His information highway in these modern days. So lets examine our verse for today!


Scripture - Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.
Matthew 4:4

Reading - Slowly read the Scripture passage several times


Meditation - Take some time to reflect on the words and phrases in the text. Which words, phrases or images speak to you most?


Prayer - Offer the internalized passage back to God in the form of a personalized prayer of adoration, confession, renewal, petition, intercession, affirmation, or thanksgiving.


Contemplation - What word or image captures the spirit of the passage for you?
