Let my word satisfy you.
Matthew 4:4
Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’ ”
Jesus promises us that the Word will bring complete nourishment to our lives. Food alone will not sustain us, nor will anything we grab at and shove inside our bodies — anything from people to fads, false promises of prosperity to TV specials proclaiming the best new gadget to make life easier. Nothing satisfies. Not titles nor degrees. Not plans nor earthly pursuits. Only the Word has the ability to satisfy an earthly soul until eternity. Nothing can compare to the gift of Scripture. Nothing can compare to Jesus, who is the Word.
Reflection Questions

“Nothing can compare to the gift of Scripture. Nothing can compare to Jesus, who is the Word.” Yes, and amen.
Because this is my first year celebrating Advent, I am so thankful as I reflect on the eternal gifts I have. The first one being that I finally embraced the light that guided me through the darkness.
