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.(KJV) (Deuteronomy 8:3)
We know that Israelites' hunger for food was met by the manna God sent from heaven! In our life we too hunger for things like care, concern, love, a comforting word, perhaps even material things and sometimes for spiritual gifts. When we are in such hunger let us remember that god is humbling us so that we have a total commitment to Him, find HIM in the whole process, rely on HIM and to greatly appreciate the manna that we will be sent! When we are humbled HE makes us realize that to satisfy our deepest longings we need HIM more than our wants! If our trust us in HIM, HE he will surely lead us in ways we or our forefathers didn't know of! Heavenly Father help us to rely on your words to quench our thirst and to satiate our hunger!
