Good food

People don’t live on bread alone. No, they live based on whatever the Lord says. ~ Deuteronomy 8:3b (CEB)

(Jesus said,) Don’t work for the food that doesn’t last but for the food that endures for eternal life, which the Human One will give you. God the Father has confirmed him as his agent to give life. ~ John 6:27a (CEB)

God, sometimes I wonder what would happen if I put as much energy into pursuing your word for us as I do into pursuing stuff to fill my stomach. Your word, like you, has no expiration date. You are much more valuable than food because you last. Your kingdom has no end. Help me to put things in proper perspective. I'm going to make your word first priority in my life. Amen.
