Remember how the Lord your God led you all the way in the wilderness these forty years, to humble and test you in order to know what was in your heart, whether or not you would keep his commands. 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.
Deuteronomy 8:2-3
The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
John 1:14
Father, You show me the reason why You made the Israelites walk in the wilderness for forty years before entering the promised land. You humbled them, made them hungry, and provided for them. Yes, man does not live on bread alone, but on Your Word. Father, please help me remember my wilderness journey and live by loving Your Word, in the name of the living Jesus. Amen.
