Man does not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. Jesus quoted this verse from Deuteronomy 8 when He was tempted in the desert by the devil in Matt 4:4. What he was saying is that natural food isn’t the only kind of food we need. The Words of God in the Bible are food for us. They are just like a daily supply of manna that the Israelites received in the desert. Each portion of manna was just for that day. When we daily eat of the Word, we can be storing up for the future, but inside every morsel of God’s Word is strength for today. We have insight for today. We are given wisdom for today. Today we need regular daily portions of God’s Word. I grew up in a home where after each evening meal, we read the Bible together. My dad grew up in a home where they did that every meal. What a great heritage. It was a living example that the Word of God is as necessary as our daily food. So as we close out this month’s ewords talking about the importance of the Word of God, why not renew your commitment to the Word of God. It isn’t an option for the believer. Let’s be like that baby looking for milk. The word is what we long for, it is a resource that supplies strength for every challenge, and help and hope for every circumstance. God’s promises are here for us, right in the middle of His Word, for us to receive from and to benefit from. Take advantage of it daily.
