GB News Daily Reflections – Monday 10th March

In today’s Daily Reflection, Reverend Brenda Vicar of Saint Francis Anglican Church in Ingleby discusses how it is important to spend Lent “studying the word of God.”

She said: “In lent, Christians sometimes spend extra time in studying God’s Word. It nourishes our souls and helps us grow closer to God.

“I remember in the 90s there was a comedy sketch show on TV and Paul Whitehouse had a catchy phrase. It was this is milk brilliant, and milk is brilliant. It’s a complete food for baby animals to help their bodies grow. And human milk or baby formula milk, is also a complete food that helps human babies grow.

“But we hear that we do not live by food, by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God. So I give thanks that in Jesus, brilliant in lent, Christians give thanks because he is the one that feeds and nourishes our souls. Just as milk is brilliant for a growing body, Jesus is brilliant for our souls.”
