I’ve been reading through John 4 and 5 this morning and while there are many note-worthy passages in these two chapters, there is this one verse (John 4:34) that especially stood out to me. You see, in verses 31-33, Jesus’s disciples urge him to eat something and do not understand when Jesus tells them that he has food that is unknown to them. When they still don’t understand, he simplifies it for them. “My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to accomplish his work.” What stood out to me in that verse was put into the quote in the image here. As usual, we set our minds too much on the moment and the needs and desires that must be satisfied at THAT second. We feel hungry so we eat. We are thirsty so we drink. But how often do we set our minds on the things that will remain with us forever? How often do we come and spend time with the only one who can give us things that will last for more than just a moment? Physical food only satisfies the momentary hunger. But as Jesus said, true satisfaction comes from doing the will of our father who is in Heaven. #devotionals #christian #truefood #jesus #satisfactioninthelord https://www.instagram.com/p/CaSFzGHLcSe/?utm_medium=tumblr
