You Can't Live on Bread Alone

As I am making my way through the part two of Dostoevsky, I cannot help but connect it to Scripture. He begins the section talking about how he does his best to stay low and quite but to look  intelligent and like he has it all together when he actually does not. His mind is flooded with questions and doubt and insecurity while trying to maintain a stable smile. I think this is a perfect picture of what it looks like when we try to do things on our own when we know Christ is clearly there waiting to help. We become too prideful to step down from our peddle stool and let God take control. In Matthew it says, "man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God," (4:4).This relates to how we cannot do anything without Christ's help and I think that is exactly what he is trying to do; live without Christ but knows he needs more than just "bread."
