We all get hungry, and not just for food for our bellies, but for food to feed our souls. Satan tempts us to satisfy both our physical and spiritual hungers with earthly things and by worldly methods, "turn these stones into loaves of bread." But earthly bread can only satisfy for a short time before we're hungry again. God has provided for the deepest hungers in our lives. He has set the table with the milk and meat of His Word, the Bread of Life, His Son Jesus Christ, and, the Living Water, His Holy Spirit. Just as the body requires food to thrive, the soul requires the Words of God (heavenly manna) for life and vitality.

Thousands upon thousands of people are on diets nowdays, trying to control their hungers and have a healthy life-style. Sad to say, most are neglecting the deeper, and more urgent, hunger of their souls. So, though they may lose weight and control their eating, they remain unsatisfied and waining. They often conquer the stomach only to lose their souls. Our appetite for the things of this world can starve us to death. What's your diet like? Are you getting enough "bread" and enough of God's Word to "stay alive?" Think about it.
