Jonathan Pennington preaches from Deuteronomy 8, showing that the manna in the wilderness taught Israel to live by the Word of God, and urges every believer to read the whole Bible from Genesis to Revelation. He shares how reading it cover to cover over two years after his salvation drew him closer to God, introduced him to men like Zedekiah, who sought a word from the Lord but would not obey it, and gave him far more than sermons alone could cover. Drawing on Revelation 2, he calls those who have already read it through to remember their first love for God's Word and read it again.
“All the commandments which I command thee this day shall ye observe to do, that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers. And thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no. And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live.”Deuteronomy 8:1-3 (KJV)
