We become more like our Heavenly Father when we dwell on His promises. Feeding our soul with God's word helps us to grow in our understanding of Him and steels us against the temptations of the world and our own sinful desires. God's word is the sword of the spirit (Eph 6:17) and with it we can fight against every temptation we face. Even Jesus responded to the temptations of Satan with God's word.
"Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God." (Matthew 4:4)
Dwell on His promises and keep them close. You will need them even today.
Dear Lord:
Thank you for the bread of life. Please feed it to me aplenty and help me to turn to it this day instead of to the temptations of this world.
Amen.
