We had a good lesson in the connect group I attended this morning. There were lots of interesting points but this one stuck with me the longest. Most of us recognize that the gospels tell us that Jesus is the Bread of Life ... but how many of us would connect that with the Lord's Prayer that teaches us to pray that we be given our daily bread ? We all need our daily bread of life and that's not just the food that meets our physical needs but that which meets our SPIRITUAL needs - and that's Christ !
Thinking on the feeding of the multitudes ... they were concerned about lunch ... bread to feed their physical hunger ... but he wanted them to ask for the bread that satisfies the spiritual hunger. That can only be Christ. Jesus is the Living Word.
Conclusion ? We need our daily bread ... a daily reading of the Word of God ... a daily conversation with the Spirit ... in order to be spiritually healthy. What does that tell me ? I need to read and commune with the Lord daily. We need a fresh word every day - yesterday's bread is gone, we need to be filled today.
Just a little food for thought :-)
