"But He answered and said, 'It is written, "Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God." ' " Matthew 4:4
"My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to accomplish His work." John 4:34
"Jesus said to them, 'I am the bread of life; he who comes to Me will not hunger, and he who believes in Me will not thirst.' " John 6:35
As I read these three verses, a question comes to mind: "What have I been eating?" For real, what do I receive sustenance from? What do I live on? Where do I go when I'm hungry?
So, for me, these verses have been an exhortation to feed on Christ who is the bread of life. I would like to extend the exhortation. Brothers and sisters, let us live not on bread alone, let us live by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God (there's a whole lot of them recorded for us in that leather bound book we carry around all the time). Let us receive life from coming to our Lord, listening to Him, and doing His will.
