Bible Verse
“And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna… that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the Lord.”
— Deuteronomy 8:3 (KJV)
Ellen G. White Quote
“The Word of God is food for the soul. There we find promises, warnings, and instructions — all we need to live a life that is pleasing to Him.”
— Counsels to Parents and Teachers, p. 462
Reflection
The children of Israel were humbled in the wilderness, not to destroy them but to teach them to rely on God’s Word for their daily bread. It’s a powerful reminder to us today that we need more than physical nourishment; we need the Word of God to sustain us.
Ellen White underscores this, noting that Scripture contains everything we need for a life pleasing to God. His promises nourish us, His warnings guide us, and His instructions illuminate our path.
Today, as you navigate your responsibilities and face decisions, remember that you live by more than food and drink; you live by what God speaks.
Let This Be Your Prayer Today
Father, help me to appreciate Your Word as daily bread for my soul. Teach me to rely on Your promises and instructions in all things. Feed me with the nourishment that comes from Your Word. Amen.
