Bread Of Life

Jesus said to them, 'I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst.'

 

John 6:35

 

 

 

"Not again!"

 

Katie thought as she fell into temptation with a bag of peanut M & M's.

 

While she polished off the bag, she was reminded of all the ill effects of junk food.

 

And repeatedly told herself, "empty calories won't nourish your cells."

 

So despite the empty bag of peanut M & M's she purposed to plan, shop, and cook nutritious meals, instead of munching on junk food.

 

Actually once she got into a routine of planning, shopping, and cooking she was right proud of herself. But the best thing of all is that God showed her something… something that she probably would not have learned if she hadn't chosen to change her eating habits for the better.

 

Food will never meet our deepest inner needs.

 

There's something far worse than depleting our bodies of needed nutrients and it is when we fail to get the proper nourishment spiritually. Just as it is necessary to plan, shop, and cook nutritious meals in order to get the proper nourishment for the body, it is crucial to take time to be nourished spiritually.

 

Only by planning and setting aside time to spend in the Word and prayer with God will we be nourished spiritually. Take time out daily to get the nourishment your spirit needs by spending time in the Word and prayer with God.

 

Learn to feed on God, as He is our bread of life!
