2.7-

There is something more necessary than food.  It is God and His provision of food for us.  We worship God, but not food.  We can use self control and even go for 40 days without food with God's help.

Under God's guidance we don't live to eat, but eat to live.

The Holy Spirit gives God's children self control in all areas if we ask for and receive His help.

Deuteronomy 8.3
³ He humbled you and let you be hungry, and fed you with manna which you did not know, nor did your fathers know, that He might make you ^[a]understand that man does not live by bread alone, but man lives by everything that proceeds out of the mouth of the Lord.

Matthew 4.

4 Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. ² And after He had fasted forty days and forty nights, He ^[a]then became hungry. ³ And the tempter came and said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.” ⁴ But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.’”

Luke 4.

4 Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led around ^[a]by the Spirit in the wilderness ² for forty days, being tempted by the devil. And He ate nothing during those days, and when they had ended, He became hungry. ³ And the devil said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread.” ⁴ And Jesus answered him, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live on bread alone.’”
