DON’T SETTLE FOR STALE BREAD

I think one of the tastiest things to eat is hot bread out of the oven. Of course, a little butter doesn’t hurt. It tastes so good when it is fresh. It is good later, but not the same as when it came out of the oven.

Often, we look to others for “a word” to hear from God. This is not sinful, but it can become sinful if we only look to others and not to God. You should consider studying the word for yourself.

The word of God is Jesus, and Jesus is the bread of life. The bread of life is never stale my friend. It isn’t yesterday’s “stale” bread. It is fresh today, but you must take it from the “oven” daily to have it be fresh for you. This means you must study it daily.

I have enjoyed over the years a prophetic word spoken over me, but there is nothing that compares to hearing from God, himself. God speaks through his word. His word, the bread that sustains us, is needed daily to feed our spirits. If we don’t feed daily, we become stale in our walk with God. We rely on what we fed on yesterday.

Prayer brings fresh bread to you also. Seeking God in that secret place brings fresh bread to you. Don’t neglect studying, praying, and spending time with God alone to receive your “fresh bread” daily.

Why settle for yesterday’s stale leftovers when you can have fresh bread daily?
