In the past week or so, I have still had this lasting appetite to pour daily into Ezekiel. Not in a visceral sense, but as a sheep that nurses to get its energy. Something happens to lighten the heart and spirit by bringing those words into view by holding the pages close and dwelling upon their meaning. Honestly, when Jesus said that we would live on more than bread, but on the word of God, I didn’t take it in the literal sense. I was wrong. It is, in fact, in the literal sense. Once you have a taste, there isn’t a way to live without having those words as a source of wisdom, guidance, comfort, and faith.
“And he humbled you and let you hunger and fed you with manna, which you did not know, nor did your fathers know, that he might make you know that man does not live by bread alone, but man lives by every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD.”
But he answered, “It is written, “ ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’ ” – Matt. 4:4
