Memory Verse: Matthew 4:4
Welcome to the first in a series of Bible memory verses. In the Bible, God has instructed us to meditate upon His Word, but we cannot do this unless we first know His word. The words in our Bibles are useless unless we internalize them--make them a part of us. Only then can we meditate upon God’s Word. And only then can God call them to our remembrance. Through the memorization of Scripture God not only teaches us, but He can may use us to teach and help others.
One longstanding method of Scripture memorization is to state the Scripture reference, recite the Scripture passage, and then restate the Scripture reference. This process is repeated a number of times until the reciter becomes comfortable with the passage and the reference. The purpose of this method is to remember not only the passage, but its location in the Bible. This would allows the reciter to find the passage in the Bible, both for themselves and for others.

Memory Verse: Matthew 4:4
“But he answered, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.’ ”
--Matthew 4:4 WEB
After His baptism, Jesus went away for forty days in order to fast and to pray before beginning his earthly ministry. At the end of this time, when Jesus was at his weakest physically, Satan tried to destroy God’s plan of salvation by turning Jesus from His mission. Satan tempted Jesus three times, but Jesus withstood them all. This Scripture comes from the first attempt, when Satan suggested that Jesus use his divine power to make food for Himself and satisfy His hunger. In reply, Jesus recalled a time when God taught the Israelites that there was more to life than satisfying physical hunger. After freeing them from Egypt, God led the people into the wilderness and removed their ability to provide for themselves so that they would realize that God was, is, and always would be, their sole provider. Moses reminded the people of this in the Book of Deuteronomy.
He humbled you, and allowed you to be hungry, and fed you with manna, which you didn’t know, neither did your fathers know; that he might make you know that man does not live by bread only, but man lives by everything that proceeds out of the mouth of Yahweh.
--Deuteronomy 8:3 WEB
Father, though I may think I provide for myself, remind me that You are my sole provider for everything. In Jesus’ name, amen.
