God's Wants You to Live by His Word

Deuteronomy 8:1-3 says, " Every commandment wiich I command you today you must be careful to observe, that you may live multiply, and go in and possess the land of which the LORD swore to your fathers. And you shall remember that the LORD your God led you all the way these forty years in the wilderness, to humble you and test you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep His commandments or not. So He humbled you, allowed you to hunger, and fed you with manna which you did not know, that He might make you know that man shall not live by bread alone; but man lives by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the LORD."

God says that His Word is more important than the information we receive from our five senses. What God says and we immediately act upon are the things that are most important in our lives.

Hebrews 5:13 says, " For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe. But solid food belongs to those who are full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil."

God says that the way to help us learn sense and spiritual ways is to hear and act on His Word. When we begin to hear an unseen God and act on what He tells us to do, we begin to trust Him to do the things that He says that He will do.

When your body keeps telling you one thing and the Word of God tells you another, you put you body under the authority of your spirit and the Word of God by speaking what God's Word says about your situation.
