the food we need

Give us today the food we need,
Matthew 6:11 NLT

One of the temptations Jesus faced was after a 40 day fast was to create food. He was hungry. Satan tempted Him to turn rocks into bread. Jesus refused saying: man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds from the Father(Matt 4:4). Jesus knew ew the important food,  the word of God.

Today I attended a high tea. A lot of small sandwiches along with cakes and pastries. We do not need all the pastries, in fact these are what kill us, too much sugar and fat. So what do we need?

Many stories throughout the Old Testament show that mankind can survive on bread and water. It it not very nutritional by today's standards, however, it appears we can survive. We cannot survive without the word of God, not really survive. We are walking skeletons without a soul, that is all. God's word gives us life. Amen!
