And he humbled you and let you hunger and fed you with manna, which you did not know, nor did your fathers know, that he might make you know that man does not live by bread alone, but man lives by every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD. Deuteronomy 8:3 ESV
If hundreds of millions of men honor what the Lord says, another four billion have access to God’s Word but ignore it. Why should you care either way?
First, the Lord never speaks in vain, so you’d best heed His every word. Your spiritual sustenance always takes priority over the physical.
Second, you cannot add even the smallest subatomic particle of truth to the Lord’s infinite and eternal knowledge, understanding, wisdom, and ways. No wonder Isaiah 55:8-9 (NIV) says, “’For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways’, declares the Lord. ‘As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.’:
Third, any time someone thinks he knows better than the Lord, he is acting like a fool and is in grave danger. Quoting Enoch, Jude 1:14-15 (NLT) says, “Listen! The Lord is coming…to execute judgment on the people of the world. He will convict every person of all the ungodly things they have done and for all the insults that ungodly sinners have spoken against him.”
Prayer: Lord, You want me to heed Your every word. I’m committed to doing that again today.
