God gives bread and you can ask God directly. Please
see Psalm 111 verses 4 to 6, 107 verses 8 to 9, 31 to 37, 105 verses 40 to 42,
104 verses 10 to 15, 81 verses 13 to 16. Why then should you subject yourself
to the servitude of men and in the process sin against God because of bread
when in reality God is the One Who gives bread?
Secondly, man does not live by bread alone. Please see
Deuteronomy Chapter 8 verse 3, Matthew Chapter 4 verse 4, and Luke Chapter 4 verse
4. Therefore, do not allow hunger and the quest for food make you sin against
God no matter how severe it is. By the grace of God and the power of the Holy
Spirit at work in you; you should be able to exercise self control over hunger
and the quest for food. Please see Galatians Chapter 5 verses 22 to 23.
It was hunger and the quest for food that made the
unnamed foolish woman of 2nd Kings Chapter 6 verses 25 to 30 give
her son to be eaten up. She did not consider the consequences of cannibalism
how much more that of eating up her son and sinning against God by despising
the blessing of God to her, disobeying God and committing murder. It was only
after the woman who deceived her refused to give up her son that the foolish
woman realized the consequences of what she had done – ingratitude to God for
the gift of a child, despising that gift, disobeying God to commit the other
sins of murder and cannibalism. Perhaps, she also realized the consequences of
the loss of her child.
