Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.”
John 6:35
Believe! That is our part, my part. The door to all the provisions of God is entered by belief, not obedience. That follows. Believe! Why is it so hard to believe? This meditation is in today’s Daily Light which quotes Revelation 3:17 – 19
You say, ‘I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.’ But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked. I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so you can become rich; and white clothes to wear, so you can cover your shameful nakedness; and salve to put on your eyes, so you can see. Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest and repent.
Our meditation for the day opens with a typical picture. “I am rich …and in need of nothing!” Horrors. We all need the most precious thing – God’s marvelous blessing. Without that it is like working against God Almighty!
I am struggling with health issues just now, a reminder that I am needy. But how is that need to be met? Certainly not with my demands that I have rights! Rather, that my life has not changed, I am safe in the hands of the One who loves me, saves me and all the rest.
Lord, keep teaching me!
