Man does not live on food alone

" He said in reply, “It is written:
‘One does not live by bread alone,
but by every word that comes forth from the mouth of God." (Matthew 4: 4)

Jesus said in reply to Satan asking Him to turn stones into bread, ‘One does not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes forth from the mouth of God."  

Satan attacked Jesus at His time of weakness.  Jesus had just finished a successful 40-day retreat in the desert during which He fasted day and night.  He was very hungry and could have easily accepted the rationalizations of Satan.  "The fast is over. God does not expect you to die of hunger now. You need food to sustain you to walk back to town."  Jesus knowing the character of Satan, the father of lies and of all deceptions suspected his motives and countered with  a sure word of God: ‘One does not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes forth from the mouth of God." 
What does this word of God mean?

God is the provident Father.  He controls the pathways of life.  He is the source of every good gift.  Therefore:

• Man does not live on bread alone..
• Man does not live on Money alone...
• Man does not live on Job alone....
• Man does not live on Family alone...

There are many ways God suspects His man. He provides for man by every word that comes from His mouth.

Faith gives us access to God's promise of Pardon, Peace, Power, Purpose, Presence, Protection and Provision.

In the Temptation in the Desert, Jesus gave us an example of trusting God in temptation.
