God’s Word Is Faith Food

To believe with the heart means to believe with the spirit—the inward man. How does our spirit get faith that our intellect cannot obtain? Through reading and meditating on the Word. Jesus said in Matthew 4:4,
“. . . Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.”
Jesus is speaking here of spiritual food. He is using the natural human idea—bread—to convey a spiritual thought. The Word is spirit and faith food. The Word of God is to the spirit of man what natural food is to the body of man. Our spirits become filled with assurance and confidence as we meditate in the Word.
The Word of God is the food that makes our spirits strong and that gives us quiet assurance and confidence. You see, the body, the physical or outward man, believes in what he sees with his physical eyes or in what he hears with his physical ears or in what his physical feelings tell him. But the man on the inside—the spirit or the heart of man—believes in the Word regardless of seeing, hearing, or feeling. His believing does not depend on sense knowledge; it depends on the Word of God. Amen
