Our wants are not as important as our needs. A person can still live with unsatisfied wants but not his needs. We all need food, water and air to survive and without them we will die.
These are physical food for our body that gives it strength, energy and nourishment. They are so important and we need them everyday if we want to stay alive.
There is another food that our spirit needs which is so important and cannot be compared to the aforementioned physical food.
This most important food is the word of God. Man shall not live by bread alone but by the word that proceed from God's mouth. What a nutritionist tells you to eat is so important but not as important as what the word of God tells you to do.
All the things contained in God's word are life to those who find them and health to their bones. The word of God is needed more than all the nutritional food you can think of. This is becuase man is not just a flesh and blood but a spirit who lives in a body.
And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.Genesis 2:7
The breathe of life is the spirit of God which gives us the ability to live and have our being. We should therefore not live for the flesh but for the spirit for the flesh profits nothing.
If we live for the flesh we will die and be burried but if we live for the spirit we will have life and peace.
For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. But you are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. Romans 8:5-9
There is nothing in this world which can satisfy us than the spiritual food(the word of God). We need it more than we need water, air and any other food you can name.
Ones you get the word you become unstoppable and invincible, no one can take it from you. Go for the word, it's what you need to stay alive:
Now as they were traveling along, Jesus went into a village. A woman named Martha welcomed him into her home. She had a sister named Mary, who sat down at the Lord’s feet and kept listening to what he was saying. But Martha was worrying about all the things she had to do, so she came to him and asked, “Lord, you do care that my sister has left me to do the work all by myself, don’t you? Then tell her to help me.” The Lord answered her, “Martha, Martha! You worry and fuss about a lot of things. But there’s only one thing you need. Mary has chosen what is better, and it is not to be taken away from her.” Luke 10:38-42
