“And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; 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 doth man live.”
Deuteronomy 8:3 KJV
God taught the true meaning of being humble - to depend on Him completely and to live by His Word. God humbled the children of Israel in the wilderness by Himself feeding them with manna, a food previously unknown to them. He did it to teach them that people do not live by bread alone; rather, we live by every Word that comes from the mouth of the Lord. Because we were not the children of Israel, the Word of God would not have come to us except for the shedding of the Blood of Jesus for us who were foreigners to the grace of God. But now we are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God. We have received the Word of God and we humble ourselves to live by every Word that proceeds from the mouth of God Who is the Word of God. Thank You Father for giving us Your Only Begotten Son, Who is the Word of God that whoever believes in the Word shall not perish but have everlasting life! Amen!
