Forever Filled

Who doesn’t need a little motivation!  Days when we need more than a little nudge – more like a swift kick in the seat of our pants!  Jesus’ miracles gained Him notoriety among the people, and crowds followed Him everywhere. John writes, “When they found Him on the other side of the sea, they said to Him, ‘Rabbi, when did You get here?’ Jesus answered them and said, ‘Truly, truly, I say to you, you seek me not because you saw signs, but because you ate of the loaves and were filled.’” (John 6:25-26). As Believers, we [too] are guilty of seeking The Father, expectantly looking toward His next blessing rather than resting completely in Who He is come what may.  Jesus spoke to the crowd: “I am the Bread of life; he who comes to Me will not hunger, and he who believes in Me will never thirst.” (V.35).  The people well understood the body’s need for bread and water, but were yet to know God’s sustaining power through His Son, Jesus.  Do you find yourself anxious in your seeking? Lacking peace and rest? Perhaps you’ve fallen among the crowds who pursue Jesus looking for and waiting on the next temporal gift. The human soul’s deepest longing is not found in momentary feedings but true-lasting-satisfying nourishment, which comes only from The Bread of Life and Living Water – Jesus Christ. Come out from the crowd, seek Him alone and be forever filled!
