Deuteronomy 7-9, Psalm 55
Deuteronomy 8:3-4 (NLT)
“Yes, he humbled you by letting you go hungry and then feeding you with manna, a food previously unknown to you and your ancestors. He did it to teach you that people do not live by bread alone; rather, we live by every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord. For all these forty years your clothes didn’t wear out, and your feet didn’t blister or swell. “
In Deuteronomy 8:3–4, Moses reminds the people that they learned to rely on the Lord for everything during their wilderness journey. Father-God allowed them to experience hunger and then fed them with manna—food they had never known before—so they would understand that life depends on more than physical provision alone. The Lord also miraculously sustained them: their clothing did not wear out over forty years, and their feet did not swell. Father-God faithfully cared for their well-being in the desert.
These verses remind me that the Lord is able to provide supernaturally for His people. The gift of manna taught Israel that they were not sustained by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the Lord. When Satan tempted Jesus in the wilderness, He quoted this very truth: “Man does not live by bread alone.” Father-God provides not only for our physical needs but also for our spiritual hunger.
There was a season in my life when my connection to the Lord was weak. Even though I had acquired everything I thought I wanted materially, I still felt a deep emptiness that no possession or achievement could satisfy. Looking back, I see that I was trying to live on bread alone. Now I am learning to recognize the “manna” the Lord provides—daily spiritual nourishment that sustains both my heart and my life.
If these verses resonate with you—if you feel drawn to place your faith in Jesus Christ, the One who satisfies both your spiritual and physical hunger—this may be your moment. Open your heart to Him. Speak to Him in prayer, expressing your trust, your desire to walk with Him, and your willingness to welcome His presence into your life. God is faithful and ready to meet you exactly where you are.
Heavenly Father, I give You my life. Please forgive me for all my sins and wash me clean through the blood of Jesus. I believe in my heart that You raised Jesus from the dead, and I confess with my mouth that Jesus is my Lord and Savior. I receive Your forgiveness and the gift of salvation. Thank You, Lord—I am saved, I am forgiven, I am clean, and I am made new in Jesus’ name. Amen.
If you prayed this prayer, welcome to the family of Father-God! I encourage you to find and join a Holy Spirit–filled, full-Gospel, Bible-based church where you can grow in your faith and experience the Lord’s love, signs, wonders, and miracles in your life.
