What does that mean "the will of God is our food"?

Jesus said to them, My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to finish His work. (John 4:34)

Here is an interesting expression that I just realised. I knew Jesus was sent by God, but I didn't pay attention that you can regard the will of God as food! If we check "food" in wiki, here is the explanation:

"Food is any substance[1] consumed to provide nutritional support for the body. It is usually of plant or animal origin, and contains essential nutrients, such as fats,proteins, vitamins, or minerals. The substance is ingested by an organism and assimilated by the organism's cells to provide energy, maintain life, or stimulate growth."

Keywords below really touch me:
Substance, being consumed, providing nutritional support, from life (plant or animal origin), essential nutrients, being ingested, being assimilated, by organism, providing energy, maintaing life, and stimulating growth.

Praise the Lord we can consume the will of God from this living one for the will of God is our essential nutirents, can be ingested and assimilated in order to provide us (the living organisms) energy, to maintain our life and growth. And of course, if each one of us keeps eating this life, we'll be healthy, vital, and full of energy to complete the will of God! Praise Him! The will of God is nothing to do with religions, but the very life and purpose of our human living! Only by taking His will as our food will we be able to meet the original purpose of God sending us here (no matter where you are now and will be) and finish what He desires to do.
