Christ quoted this verse to beat one of Satan’s arguments (Matthew 4:4). Jesus reminds you that while food is a need for your body, the Word of God is a need for your mind. God has always existed. There was a time when you, your family & friends did not exist. The stars, the Earth, the animals and even people all had different beginnings.
All that we see and don’t see is a part of God’s creation, and we depend on it to exist. We need air to breathe, light to see and get warm, the earth for food and water so we can survive another day. Creation depends on creation, but God does not need anything. He relies on nothing, but allows us to rely on Him for everything.
Because He created us with a body and a mind, we depend on creation to survive but we need God to live. Spend time to think about God has done for you to be alive today. If you woke up in the morning and ONLY got what you thanked God for, would that change the way you pray?
Jesus asks you not rely on creation but to rely on Him, are you ready?
