Your Daily Diet

Matthew 4: 1- 4

“Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. 2 And when He had fasted forty days and forty nights, afterward He was hungry. 3 Now when the tempter came to Him, he said, “If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.”

4 But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’”

Jesus has just completed a 40 day fast.  Now His hunger has returned and the devil shows up.   He tempts Jesus to turn stones into bread.

Even though Jesus could have easily done this, He chooses not to.  Instead He presents a great spiritual truth. “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.”

The question I leave with you is, “What does your daily diet consist of? Are you living by bread alone?”
