Matthew 4:4 But he answered, “It is written, “‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”

Every word is capable of speaking to us. That does not mean we should share every message.

I once wrote a 887 word thesis on the very first word in the bible, “in”. If I were to share everything I get from each word from the bible, I could not live long enough to even cover Genesis.

I was asked to take a turn at shepherding a life group, giving our teacher/shepherd a break. It took me a year to cover Ephesians.

A gentlewoman commented “You get more out of one word than anyone I know.”

John 14:26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.

He will help tell us when to share what we are shown and when it is meant solely for our personal consumption.

No. I have not written a thesis on “the”. But I could. That is what the flesh does, it wastes our precious time.
