Before I share with you what the Lord taught me today, I have to take you to what happened yesterday. I listened to a sermon where the preacher said that we should never come to the Bible looking for a formula or a technique, but we should always come to the Bible looking for Jesus. He also said we need to bring all of our cares to Jesus every day and then go about our day singing and enjoying our lives just as if we had already received what we asked for. Sounded good to me, so this morning I got up and did just that. I told Jesus all of my cares and went about my day. But to my surprise, I had a horrible day! Everything upset me. My soul was very restless. Listening to sermons always makes me feel better and I often feel the message is speaking directly to me, so I listened to a sermon and wasn't surprised when I heard the message.
Here is the message in a nutshell. Jesus is our manna from heaven, the Bread of life and we need to feed on him every day. And here is when God brought me full circle. He took me back to 4 1/2 years ago when I came to His Word with questions on my heart and He reminded me that everything I read answered my questions. God told me that that is my answer to all of my questions and cares. I need to come to His Word every day with my questions and cares and feed on His manna, the Bread of life, Jesus, and while I am reading and beholding Jesus', He will answer my questions and take care of all of my cares. Wow!
I also have to give you this, because it is powerful. Health is one of my cares and of course, God knows this, so He put on my heart Proverbs 4:20-22: My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh. HEALTH TO OUR FLESH!!! From today on, I will be gorging myself on the Bread of life! Thank you, Jesus!!!
