Amen! The Bread IS in the Word of God. Let's enjoy the feast God gives us. Therefore, submit yourself to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to God and He will draw nigh to you. It is not enough to say, "God is always with me," unless you are there as well, actively (submit, resist, draw...) May our hearts burn in our yearning for His Word, for His presence in our lives, for His love, for His fellowship. May we all go back to our First Love! In Jesus' Name. Amen!
"As the Holy Spirit says, today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts" - Hebrews 3: 7 "And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man" - Genesis 6:3
David brings up an excellent point, to those who push away the Word, and then get into a LONG LONG HABIT of never opening His book, we become seduced into thinking we are right, or ok, that God is pleased and forgives, but we have no basis or foundation for such a doctrine if we depart from the Word of God. The Word of God must be something you eat and nourish yourself with daily. You do this without me telling you daily, right? If you need a kick start, there is a good book recently written by a New England pastor Nick Pickowicz - How to Eat Your Bible. Even Michael Jordan had to eat his Wheaties, how much more so should you be eating yours found in the life-giving, renewing, regenerating words of God?
Many people say that the Bible is being supernaturally changing, such as the lion and the lamb is now the wolf and the lamb. They claim that these verses are Satan supernaturally changing the Bible, thus it should no longer be trusted. Any legitimacy to this? Doesn't God say his Word will not be corrupted, thus this interpretation leads to conflict thus falsehood?
The Word of God is our food, our strength and we become weak without it, good word!

Thanks for explaining that particular verse.
Don't push God away! James puts things succinctly when he encourages his readers to "draw near to God and He will draw near to you" (James 4:8).
Amen, always a good reminder
