"Man does not live by bread alone

I have heard Karl Ingersoll, another pastor of Fredericton First Wesleyan, say... "The measure of the greatness of a man's love for God is not found in his attention to the things he has to do, but in his attention to the things he doesn't have to do." That is, your salvation doesn't depend on your going to Sunday school or prayer. But your greatness as a Christian, and your intimacy with God, do. And probably there's no other religious activities can help you develop you intimacy with God better than reading God's Word, memorizing it, and meditating it throughout the day. Because if you'll think about it scripture studying, memorization is a form of worship, a form of prayer, and a form meditation. It's like three birds in one stone. So make it a habit to read, memorize, and meditate scriptures. It's a good discipline that develops your faith and relationship with your creator. As it is written in Matthew 4:4 "Man does not live by bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God." Don't start your day without studying, meditating your memory verse. Then, add more Bible verses to your memory once you have the momentum. Don't let the enemy push you to procrastinate again.
