Letting You Go Hungry
| November 5th, 2009Deuteronomy 8:2-3 says:
Remember how the Lord your God led you through the wilderness for these forty years, humbling you and testing you to prove your character, and to find out whether or not you would obey his commands. Yes, he humbled you by letting you go hungry and then feeding you with manna, a food previously unknown to you and your ancestors. He did it to teach you that people do not live by bread alone; rather, we live by every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord.
Apparently, the things we think are most important (like food, money, above average grades, job security, being successful, a healthy retirement etc), may not be all that important after all. Further, God is willing to let us go without these all-important things in order to focus us on what is important. Him.
