Starving Christians. ( Matthew 4 v 4 )

It is surprising and sad that some Christians never consistently read Gods word, and those who do read ,have  so little understanding of it.There are a number of things that we need to avail ourselves to,if we are grow spiritually,read and understanding Gods word,in Acts 8 v 26 - 40 we read how Philip met a Ethiopian who was returning home in his chariot,and was read from Isaiah 53 when Philip asked him the all important question, ''Do you understand what you are leading?''. He confessed that he needed someone to teach him.So for a short time Philip explained what the passage from Isaiah 53 meant,that it spoke of Jesus.The result was this man came to faith in Christ, I read this in one my daily devotions by C.S.Lewis who pointed out' that many people drifted away from their faith because they did not put their faith on the Word of God'. Jesus ,when he was starving after 40 days of fasting said,''man shall live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeded from the mouth of God. ( Matthew 4 v 4 )                                                                                                                                                                               Make Gods word your daily bread.
