His Manna, His Word

Deuteronomy 8:3 He humbled you, causing you to hunger and then feeding you with manna, which neither you nor your fathers had known, to teach you that man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD.


Matthew 4:4 Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.'"


While food can sustain our bodies, only God's Word can sustain our souls.


Dear Heavenly Father, I need Your Word. Every day. Your Word is spiritual nourishment, and it feeds my soul as nothing else can. Thank You for Your gift of Scripture -- it is my manna from You, each day -- it sustains me, teaches me, and fills me.  Praise You for Your timeless Word.  Amen.
