Starved to Death

“It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the Lord.”
Matthew 4:4

Have you ever stopped to think about all the things that feed you throughout the day?  Not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually too?  To fill the emptiness in our stomachs, we head to the refrigerator, pantry, or nearest drive-thru.  
But what about the emptiness in our hearts?
 Relationships, jobs, books, social media and television all "feed us" and meet our emotional and/or spiritual needs in some way, just like the food we eat satisfies the emptiness in our stomachs.  
We may likely believe that we couldn't survive without the things we use to satisfy us emotionally.  But the truth is, we would.  It is life-altering and devastating to lose a job, or sever a relationship.  And far worse to suffer the death of a loved one.  
Yet physically, even though a part of us may have died, our bodies live on.  
The same is not true for food. Our bodies require the nutrition derived from food for mere survival on a daily basis.  Interestingly, there are several scriptures in the Bible that tell us about something other than food needed for survival.  
The Word says in three different places:
(Deuteronomy 8:3, Matthew 4:4, and Luke 4:4)
 “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.”
Taken literally, how many of us are starving to death?  We’re desperate for change, and seeking a new life, but dying in our current situation because we are malnourished.
Let this little nugget from the pantry of God’s Word encourage you today:
“Every good gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of tuning.”  
James 1:17  
God has great and perfect gifts waiting for all who want feed from His bountiful supply of goodness, mercy, and love.
A fresh feast awaits you.  And for most, you need not look any further than a nearby coffee table or bookshelf to find it.  
Quit starving yourself and drastically improve your health and wellness. Start nibbling on the fresh food found in the Word of God!

Let’s pray:
Dear God,
Today I praise You for Your Word.  I love to “taste and see”  how good Your Word is, and how it satisfies the hunger of my soul.  I will no longer starve myself, but begin immersing myself more in the precious promises found in my Bible.  
Help me to take time each day to feast on what You have to say to me!
In the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ I pray,
Amen
