Man and Bread

“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)

God’s loving providence provides man with everything that he needs to live a fully human life, viz:

1.       Pardon

2.      Peace

3.      Power

4.      Purpose

5.      Presence

6.      Protection

7.      Provision

Provision of bread, #7 is one element of the many provisions in that category that man needs to live a fully human life.  Abraham Maslow's principle of hierarchy of human needs teaches very much the same truth.
