Fill You Belly

Jesus answered them and said, “Most assuredly, I say to you, you seek Me, not because you saw the signs, but because you ate of the loaves and were filled. Do not labor for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to everlasting life, which the Son of Man will give you, because God the Father has set His seal on Him.”

- John 6:26-27, NKJV

There is a temptation to be around folks who can provide things for you. Unfortunately if that is what your relationship is based off, then what comes of it when those same people sooner or later are unable to feed your carnal appetite? Know that this same temptation is prevalent among God’s people with far too many seeking out God only for what they perceive He can do for them. The problem is that when you come to God seeking only to fill your belly with things of the world, you will always come up short…always be thirsty, always be hungry - But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God’” (Matthew 4:4, NKJV). The world’s morsels (words, riches, fame, etc.) cannot save you; as a result, no matter how much you feed your flesh, you are always malnourished; however, if you just pull up to God’s table and fill your plate with His Word, the fruits of His Spirit will overflow to the point where you’ll have more than enough to save your soul and others - It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life (John 6:63, NKJV). Spiritual maturity necessitates that you move from stuffing your own face/belly with fleshly desires, longing and seeking out things that benefit self, and transition to consuming the things of God that will unleash His Spirit into your life and others…providing Kingdom principles on Earth…promoting the salvation of souls. Today taste and see that the Lord is good and share His goodness throughout the world - Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the man who trusts in Him! Oh, fear the Lord, you His saints! There is no want to those who fear Him. The young lions lack and suffer hunger; but those who seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing (Psalms 34:8-10, NKJV).

BE BLESSED!
