Scripture Meditation No. 1634
AATHAVAN – Tuesday, 29.07.2025
“Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the Lord.” (Deuteronomy 8:3; Matthew 4:4; Luke 4:4)
Many people today live with
the assumption that the wealth of this world alone can bring them peace and a
prosperous life. But today’s meditation verse reminds us that worldly riches
alone are not sufficient for survival—the grace of God is far more essential.
When God speaks just one word in His mercy, it can completely transform our
lives. Yes, we cannot live merely by the wealth of this world; only by God’s
grace can we truly live and thrive.
Let me share a recent
incident from my life:
A brother I know introduced
me to a man who had returned from working abroad. He had earned a lot of money
and had invested in several properties—some in his wife’s name and others in
his own. He also had a large amount of money saved in the bank. But recently,
his home had become a place of disunity and conflict.
He no longer has any
communication with his wife or children. They do not even offer him meals. He
now eats all three meals at restaurants. There is no peace in his life. He is
even contemplating suicide. The brother who introduced him to me said, “Please
pray for him.”
As I began praying for this
man, for an entire week God remained silent. But one morning, at around 8 AM,
God gave me today’s meditation verse and said, “This is My answer to him. If
he obeys My Word, his life will be transformed.”
Later, I came to know that
this man had been overly consumed with earning money and acquiring wealth, but
had failed to care for his wife and children. I shared God’s message with him: “The
same zeal you show for gathering wealth—if you would direct it toward listening
to God’s Word and obeying it, the Lord will change your situation.”
Yes, beloved, that man has
plenty of "bread", but because he lacks the Word of God, he has no
way to truly live. This is the truth that God revealed to me.
This is exactly what we read
in the book of Deuteronomy:
“And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna...
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.” (Deuteronomy
8:3 – KJV)
Yes, at times, God allows us
to experience humbling and hunger to teach us this vital truth: we do not live
by bread alone, but by His Word.
I know many families facing
similar situations—plenty of wealth and property, but no peace in the home. If
that is your condition too, God’s solution is this: Give God the place of
highest importance, not money or possessions.
Beloved, we live not by
bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of the Lord. Let
us receive God’s Word into our hearts and strive to live in obedience to it. Only
then will our problems change. Only then can we live and prosper.
