We should all be clamoring for the Bread of Life. It is the one food that can truly sustain us through all our trials. So why then do we so often settle for the food of the world? Why do we spend so much time devouring the empty vanities that surround us? These worldly things do not satisfy our soul and after we have indulged in them they leave us hungry for more. We ought to set aside the junk food of our souls—our imperfections and sins—and start partaking in the substantial feast of good works God has set before us. Every day God gives us ample opportunity to come to Him through our works and believe in Him through our thoughts. So let us not deny the spiritual food He has prepared for us or delay our reception of it. Instead, we should make every effort to bring the Bread of Life into our hearts.
What are the imperfections and sins that keep us from filling ourselves with Christ? How can we set aside those worldly things which keep us from God? What efforts can we undertake to go to Jesus and express our belief in him?
O Lord, help us to come to you and never be hungry or thirsty again.
Amen.
