Reading the Bible Every Day
📖 Bible Verse
“Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.” — Matthew 4:4
🕊️ Story / Reflection
There is a popular children’s song that says:
🎵 “Read your Bible, pray every day, and you’ll grow, grow, grow!” 🎵
Just like our bodies need food every day to grow strong, our hearts and spirits need God’s Word every day too.
Reading the Bible helps us know God better. It teaches us how to live, how to love others, and how to make wise choices.
When we spend time reading the Bible and praying, our relationship with our Heavenly Father grows stronger.
The Bible gives us comfort when we are sad, courage when we are afraid, and wisdom when we are confused.
Even reading a small verse every day can help our faith grow little by little.
God loves spending time with His children through His Word.
💡 Lesson
Reading the Bible every day helps me grow closer to God.
🙏 Prayer
Dear God,
Thank You for giving me Your Word.
Help me make time to read the Bible every day.
Teach me to grow in my love and relationship with You.
Amen.

🌿 Sit with Jesus Moment
Close your eyes and take a slow breath.
Imagine sitting quietly beside Jesus early in the morning.
He opens the Bible and gently reads to you.
As you listen, your heart feels peaceful, warm, and strong. Jesus smiles and says:
“Spend time with Me every day.”
Sit quietly and enjoy being close to Him.
