“……man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD. Deuteronomy 8:3

Globally, all the development activities, technological advancements, innovations( in all arenas’) and of course the desire of mankind to opt for more earning trend – all depend on a single concept ie ‘to cater to the needs and desires of mankind’.

Our aspiration to fulfill the desires and pent-up wishes makes us to search for new ways to earn and get satisfaction.

"Man does not live on bread alone." Life has more than physical hunger and its satisfaction. Life is simply more than that.

"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Matthew 6:25

Remember we have a body and a soul. When God created us, He created us with a body and a soul. Both aspects of our  being, need to be cared for and looked after very carefully.

God provides food for our body and also He provides His Word (tonic) for our soul.The Word is as necessary for the soul as bread is for our body- nourishment for both spiritual life and physical life.

As Jesus quoted it, ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.." Matthew 4:4.

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made." John1:1-3.
