"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 you ask most church goers if they believe the Bible, they would respond in the affirmative.  Maybe there will be some discussion of 24-hour day creation or some debate on predestination, but for the most part Christians believe the Bible to be the inspired word of God.

I wonder how those same people would respond to the importance of the Word of God compared to the food they eat.  Most Americans get three squares a day, and many partner that with a snack or two or three.  Meal time is an event.  Something looked forward to throughout the day.  

Yet how many of us are in the Scripture at that same frequency with that same zest and anticipation?  Meals are a treat.  Bible reading a duty.  Dinner recipes are planned out in advance.  Bible reading schedules quickly fall by the wayside.

Far too many of us do live by bread alone, or at least mostly.  We don't view the Word of God as being essential for our health and well-being.  Even Christ in his desert temptation highlighted the importance of God's Word by using this very passage from Deuteronomy to thwart Satan's attack.

Let's walk our talk.  If we truly believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God, then we need to follow its teachings.  For every sandwich we eat, let's devour a chapter in the Bible.
