📖 But Jesus replied, ‘No! The Bible says that food alone cannot cause people to live. They need to hear every word that God speaks. That is what gives them true life.’
—Matthew 4:4 Easy English Bible
If we are going to be successful in our Christian Walk, we must realize that food alone will not sustain us. Food will sustain our physical body, but we need more than physical sustenance. We must also feed our spirit man. Your spirit man will sustain you when you are overcoming an attack from your spiritual enemy. When your spirit man is strong, it will help to keep your body strong. It will help keep your mind strong, especially when the devil is trying to get you to quit. The Word of God is the anchor to your soul. The Word anchors our mind through troubling times because we know that it is impossible for God to lie. When the disciples got on the boat to get to a certain place, Jesus told them, “Let’s go to the other side”. Later, as they were traveling, a storm arose, and it looked as if they were not going to make it. Jesus’ words and His presence should have been enough to anchor their minds and their emotions. Instead of focusing on Jesus’ words, they focused on the storm and Jesus had to rebuke the storm. He then rebuked them for having little faith. If our faith is going to grow, we must feed on the Word of God. If we want to experience true life, we must hear every word that God speaks.
