Physical and spiritual nourishment

We see it time and again in the scriptures. Food and drink is a recurring topic, but often as a symbol of spiritual food or a reminder that "man doth not live by bread only" (Deuteronomy 8:3). Some well-know examples include

• The Israelites getting manna and Jesus later telling the Jews in John 6 that he is the bread from heaven
• Moses smiting the rock and water flowing out and Paul recognizing that as a symbol of Christ (1 Corinthians 10:4)
• Jesus drinking water from a well and then telling the Samaritan woman there that he can provide living water
• "Feasting" on the word of Christ (2 Nephi 31:20)
• Partaking of the fruit of the tree of life (1 Nephi 8 and Alma 32:40-43)
• Etc

In Enos, we also find this topic

Behold, I went to hunt beasts in the forests; and the words which I had often heard my father speak concerning eternal life, and the joy of the saints, sunk deep into my heart. And my soul hungered (Enos 1:3-4)

I like the fact that he hunts to find nourishment for his body, but when the teachings of his father sinks deep into his heart, his soul hungers instead. It is easy for us in this mortal probation to focus on our physical needs, but Enos' example is teaching us that there is something deeper, more lasting and important. When we hunger for that like Enos, we can be "filled" and "rejoice in it above that of the world." (Enos 1:26).

Another example is Alma 

And it came to pass that Alma ate bread and was filled (Alma 8:22)

What happens next is that Alma gives thanks to God, blesses Amulek and is obedient to the word of God telling them to preach repentance to the people of Ammonihah. Then they are filled again, but this time with the Holy Ghost

And Alma went forth, and also Amulek, among the people, to declare the words of God unto them; and they were filled with the Holy Ghost. (Alma 8:30)
