I'm Starving
I’m Starving!
“I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.”
John 6:51
Have you ever been on a diet? I love to be on diets! There is nothing more satisfying than that going throughout the day unsatisfied. I mean I think about food all day long and as everyone knows, it is way better to think about food than to actually eat the food. I’ve been on a diet for about a month...can you tell? I mean I love feeling emaciated, which obviously just isn’t true! All kidding aside, did you know if you get through the hunger pangs for an hour or two, they subside. Yep, your appetite will quit screaming...FEED ME! And you can go about your day pretty normal...but deep down, you know something is missing, don’t you?
Do you know many of God’s children are on a continual diet. It’s a spiritual No Carb No Calorie diet. said this in John 6:51, ““I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.” Now many will have spiritual hunger pangs for God’s Word and know that they really need to consume some Bread of Life, but they will ignore those spiritual screams for sustenance and you know they eventually go away for a little while...but you know something is missing, don’t you?
You want to know why so many of God’s Children struggle to LIVE for Jesus, they’re starving, spiritually speaking. Let that simmer for a bit.
