BY He Reads Truth
Memorizing scripture is a way to carry God’s Word with you wherever you go, keeping God-breathed instruction, reproof, and truth in your heart and mind each day. This week, we’re memorizing Matthew 4:4.
But He answered, “It is written:
Man must not live on bread alone
but on every word that comes
from the mouth of God.”
–Matthew 4:4
