Good Morning!

I love how a little sleep can improve our perspective.

“Then they asked him, ‘What must we do to do the works God requires?’

Jesus answered,

‘The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.’

So they asked him, ‘What miraculous sign then will you give that we may see it and believe you?  What will you do?  Our forefathers ate the manna in the desert; as it is written : ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’

Jesus said to them,

“I tell you the truth, it is not Moses who has given you the bread from heaven, but it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven.  For the bread of God is he who comes down from heaven and gives light to the world.’

‘Sir,’ they said, ‘from now on give us this bread.’

Then Jesus declared,

‘I am the bread of life.  He who comes to me will never go hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty…’

John 6:28-35 (emphasis mine)

I’ve thought about this post a lot recently.  So many ditches to avoid steering ourselves into, aren’t there?

Jesus, keep us focused on You, not ourselves or any good works we could do together.  You are the Bread of Life.  We join You.  It is about You. 

Oh, thank the good goodness!
