Today’s Scripture – Ps 19:10-11; Matthew 4:1-4 (SOAP: Matthew 4:4)
Psalm 19:10-11
They are more desirable than gold,
even the finest gold.
They are sweeter than honey,
even honey dripping from the comb.
11 They are a warning to your servant,
a great reward for those who obey them.
Matthew 4:1-4 The Temptation of Jesus

‘People do not live by bread alone,
but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’
