Deut 8:3 (NIV) He humbled you, causing you to hunger & then feeding you with manna, which neither you nor your ancestors 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. Matt 4:4 Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’” 1 King 17:2-4 Then the word of the Lord came to Elijah: “Leave here, turn eastward & hide in the Kerith Ravine, east of the Jordan. You will drink from the brook, & I have directed the ravens to supply you with food there.” 1 Cor10:2-4 They were all baptized into Moses in the cloud & in the sea. They all ate the same spiritual food & drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank from the spiritual rock that accompanied them, & that rock was Christ. — God reveals in the Spiritual Rock the source of sustaining life, ‘the Christ’! Christ is our bread & the sustainer of our life. He overcame the enemy for us! He is still teaching us that we do not live by bread alone, but by His word. Love Mel
