That promise was made not to those who say they believe but continue to live as the world does - striving for food that perishes- but to those who abandon the world to live as those righteous in the Lord would - striving for the food that endures to eternity which only Jesus Christ can give - John 6 vs 25 - 45.

I am serious! Jesus Christ said you should not worry about those things that when you make the decision to follow Him, He will do the providing. So, you should put your trust in Him and take that leap towards a life of righteousness by submitting it all to Him.
