START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION
(KJV) Luke 4:4
And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.
DOES NOT LIVE ON BREAD ALONE / LUKE 4:4
Satan tempts Jesus’ “flesh,” or physical desires, of which hunger is perhaps the strongest – particularly after such an extended time without food. While it may have seemed reasonable to perform a miracle to eat, Jesus would not be tempted to use His power for selfish reasons. Jesus meets and resists Satan’s temptation by declaring that He will live by God’s Word above all else (Deuteronomy 8:3).
- Jesus is saying that everything truly important in life depends on God and His plan and purposes (Joh 4:34). To strive for success, happiness or material things apart from God’s way and material things apart from God’s way and purpose will lead to disappointment and end in failure.
- Jesus emphasized this truth when He taught that we must seek God’s kingdom (God’s authority, activity, purposes and power in our lives) above anything and everything else. If we do, God promises to take care of all our needs and give us all other necessary things just the way He intends (Matthew 5:6; 6:33).
