More Than Bread

“It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.”
Matthew 4:4 · KJV

Many of us are not hungry for food. We are hungry for comfort, rest, connection, or relief.

When Jesus was hungry in the wilderness, He answered temptation with Scripture. He knew a deeper hunger that only God's word could satisfy.

For years I ate my stress, my loneliness, and my disappointment. Food was always available and never said no. But it never filled the empty place I was really trying to fill.

Today, before you reach for a snack, ask one honest question. If you are hungry, eat something nourishing. If you are hurting, bring that hurt to God first. He can satisfy what food never will.

Am I hungry, or am I hurting?
