John 6:35 TPT

“Jesus said to them, “I am the Bread of Life. Come every day to me and you will never be hungry. Believe in me and you will never be thirsty.”

 

In this passage, Jesus says, “I am the bread of life.” He doesn’t say that He is like the bread of life, but rather that He is the bread of life. Just as, in our humanness, we require “bread” to sustain our body, Jesus is explicitly reminding us, that He is our sustenance for life.

There is a difference between living a life where we feel that we are just making it through each day, and a life of abundant joy. When we “come everyday” to Him to feed on His “bread of life”, we are promised that we will never be hungry. Hungry for what?  Hungry for life! Hungry for a life of satisfaction, contentment, true joy regardless of our circumstances. This is what is promised to us.

So what does, “Come to me everyday” look like? It can be easy to be overwhelmed by this because our lives are full. Some of us have elderly parents to care for, children to raise, demanding jobs, early mornings, late nights, no support, chronic illnesses, and the list goes on.

“Come to me everyday” is simply that.... come to Him.

Sit in silence with Him.

Rise before the sun awakes and read His Word.

Put on worship music as you’re eating breakfast each morning, asking the Holy

Spirit for His insight into a situation as you complete a mundane task.

Listen to a Christian podcast on your drive in to work.

Spend designated time praying and worshipping.

The more time we dedicate to these practices in our everyday living, the more we will find it becoming our natural posture!

Jesus asks us to return to Him daily to feed on what He has to offer. In return, He extends to us a life of abundance. A life where we always have enough and are fully satisfied.
