Will Work For Food - John 6:26-28

Scripture of the Day

John 6:26 - 28 (NIV)

“Will Work For Food”

JESUS answered, “I tell you the truth, you are looking for ME, not because you saw miraculous signs 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.”

Man does not live on bread alone; but man lives by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the LORD (Deuteronomy 8:3).  You can be surrounded by the plush fruits and fattest calves, and still starve to death!  Oh sure! Your belly will be filled with meat, but your soul will be starving for JESUS!  If we feed the flesh, then we grow in the flesh!  But if we feed the spirit, then we grow in the spirit!  Spiritually, we must work for food!  We must eat from The Bread of Life . . . the Fruit of the Spirit!  This is the food that endures eternal life.  Our souls cannot feed off of McDonalds!  We can eat the healthiest foods to keep our bodies strong, but we must feed off of every word that proceeds from the mouth of the LORD to keep our spiritual life growing!    For HE satisfies the longing soul, and fills the hungry soul with goodness. (Psalm 107:9)
