Luke 4[1] And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit in the wilderness for forty days, being tempted by the devil. And he ate nothing during those days. And when they were ended, he was hungry. The devil said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread.” And Jesus answered him, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone.’” We put our desires for what we think we need ahead of the word of God We are dissatisfied with God. Impatient with God. Frustrated. He sent us out into the desert and he has not fed us! Where is his provision? We don’t have enough money, health, the right job, our spouse is grieving us, our children grieving us. What is the bread that you are not getting today? We must have believer and continue to obey. Perhaps, we should fast and spend those meal times in prayer and meditation on the word. Fasting teaches us that “Man does not live on bread alone.” “but by every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord.” Mo
