Don't cha Know

I was studying one morning in the Book of Exodus chp. 34: when Moses came from the mount talking with God for 40 days and 40 nights and did not eat nor drink anything. I was reading the footnotes of v28, that then led me to Matt. 4: 2 when Jesus was led to the wilderness by the Holyspirit. He was in the wilderness for 40 days and 40 nights also. When he came out of the wilderness the bible says that he was hungry, so the tempter came and tempted Jesus with food. This led me to Matt. 6:16 concerning fasting which is what Jesus was doing for 40 days. Now, when a person goes without food for that long the mind and body no longer think of food. I know for myself when I pass the hungry stage of the day I no longer want anything to eat. Sometimes I have to make myself eat for health reason, now that's just me and it doesn't happen all the time, but most days. Now, back to what I believe was a revelation or eye opener. When I was reading Matt. 6:16 notes I thought to myself asking God at the same time. Why was Jesus tempted with food and not water??? For a person to be in the dessert that long I'm sure without a shadow of doubt that a person will crave water before food. Don't you think? Then I imagined myself in the dessert with access to certain plants, like cactus and others that I don't know the names of. I also thought about a documentary I saw when people in Africa would dig near a certain plant or bush and find water. I believe that’s what Jesus did and that’s why the tempter didn't tempt him with water first, he knew Jesus wasn't thirsty. (Just my personal theory and revelation), but it was like a light came on when the thought came to my mind, lol.
