Bible Verse
Deuteronomy 8:3 (NIV): “He humbled you, causing you to hunger and 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.”
Meaning
This verse is a powerful reminder from our Heavenly Father about the importance of spiritual nourishment. Just as physical food is necessary for our earthly bodies, God’s Word is necessary for our spiritual nourishment and growth. When God fed the Israelites with manna in the wilderness, an unfamiliar substance which they had never seen before, He was teaching them to trust Him for their sustenance.
The manna symbolized God’s Word – mysterious at times, but always nourishing. Therefore, this verse is a wake-up call for us to depend not on worldly materials but on God’s words for our survival and prosperity. It’s a lesson about humility, faith, and reliance on God. It’s God’s way of saying: “I am your provider, your sustainer, and your survival is based on your connection to Me and My Word.”
Actions to Take
1. Make reading the Bible a daily habit. Prioritize it over other daily routines.
2. Practice regular fasting to understand the physical hunger that leads to spiritual fulfillment.
3. Reflect on God’s word throughout the day, not just during your quiet time.
4. Share a bible verse with someone each day.
5. Make a habit of writing down or noting bible verses that speak to you.
