Is He your Appetizer or Entrée?

Is He your Appetizer or Entrée?

February 25 – March 2

Scripture: “Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.”  John 6:35

Devotional: Have you ever been so hungry that the first thing you do when you arrive at a restaurant is grab the crackers on the table or ask the server to bring out the fresh baked bread?  Though it curbs our hunger somewhat, many times we can get full of eating the crackers or several loaves of bread, it’s not the main entrée; it’s not the reason why we chose to come to the venue.  In other words, it’s a temporary filling until we receive what the chef has prepared! My friends, once you digest Jesus Christ, you have satisfying nourishment that will carry you through for life! Why not just take the time and taste and see that our God is so good?

Prayer: Life Giver King, we worship you and glorify your greatness; thank you for the opportunity to dine from your table of life and liberty!  We love you and give you praise for providing us the nutrition that we crave through your Holy Word.  Now, Sovereign Lord, enable us to never take for granted what You have given to us and to share with others how You are truly the living bread that can only satisfy our sin-sick souls, in the name of the one who is the bread of the life, Jesus Christ, we pray, Amen and Amen!  

Reflection Question: Does waiting on Jesus allow you to get full on other things in life?
