Food for Life
When I wake up in the early morning, I always find myself feeling physically hungry for food, like a piece bacon, pancake, chicken nugget, or orange juice. I need food to keep my energy up to cope through the day.
Similarly, this is exactly what my morning devotionals should start: Hungry for God’s sustenance. It includes the “pure milk of the word” (1 Peter 2:2) and daily “bread” (Matthew 6:11). The word of God is my spiritual food for the day. It will keep going strong, to cope with the stress of the day.
I’m leaving the tough decisions to God. I’m giving all of my troubles on His feet. I’m going to enjoy the feast that God has laid out in front of me, and enjoy His generous provision.
Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, you are looking for me, not because you saw the signs I performed but because you ate the loaves and had your fill. Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. On him God the Father has placed his seal of approval.”
John 6:25-29
