John 6:35 - Filling Up On The Bread Of Life, JESUS.

John 6:35 (ESV) Jesus said to them, I am the 
bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not 
hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never 
thirst. 

COMMENTARY PEARL

   I like shoes. Even though as a mom of 
small kids who works from home I have few chances 
to get dolled up, I still have a lot of shoes. 
I just appreciate any good-looking shoe. 
   My ten-year-old son suffers from the same 
affliction, though for basketball shoes. Aside from the 
moral question of such extravagance for mere 
shoes, it seems crazy to buy expensive high-tops 
for a kid who seems to grow an inch a month. We 
have a sensible spending limit and he spends his 
allowance within reason. Regardless, no matter what 
shoes we get, there's always another pair, a new 
pair, a cooler, cuter pair. Where does it end? 
   Today I recognize that our shoe fetish is 
insatiable. An itch that can never be satisfied. And 
like any bad itch, the more you scratch, the 
worse it gets. Better to apply medicine and resist 
the temptation to scratch from the very start. 
   The remedy is filling up on the Bread of 
Life, Jesus. For me, this means immersing myself 
in God's Word, prayer, meditation, worship, 
fellowship, and service. When I feast on Jesus I'm more 
content. My priorities and desires align more closely 
with His. The urge to buy another pair of shoes 
is quelled. 
   I'm not demonizing the buying of a few 
pairs of shoes. But I just know one more pair will 
never fully satisfy. 
   Jesus, Who Himself faced temptation, 
knows that He alone can satisfy our deepest 
longings, whether it be the need for love, meaning, 
or, yes, shoes. by Isabella Yosuico 
   Faith Step: Before your next shopping 
trip, ask yourself what underlies the craving. 
Consider investing your time and treasure in the One 
who fully satisfies. [Mornings With Jesus 2018
