Today we live in a complex world where complex- ity increases daily. Many struggle to satisfy their daily needs. We feel they are not within the reach of our own capacities. Sometimes our wages, our health, our relationships and others can come between us and our expectations.

When we cannot meet our expectations regarding physical and emotional needs, we tend to go after temporary means of meeting our needs. The Lord Jesus speaks about the importance of focusing on things that bring eternal life, and not temporary sat- isfaction.

If we put ourselves in the place of the people who went in search of the Lord Jesus to be fed for the second time, we would have probably been with them. According to the Lord Jesus, what is more impor- tant is to switch our focus to find eternal food than just searching for miracles of multiplications.
How do we switch our focus to eternal food? What is eternal food? What shall we do to ensure we receive it? In John 6:29, the Lord Jesus says, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one He has sent.”

What is it that the Lord Jesus is reassuring here? He will be there for us. We do not need to labour for the food that perishes. How are we facing our situations? How are we going about our daily life – at office, at home, at school?In John 6:35 the Lord Jesus is giving us a beautiful promise. “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.” No matter what the struggle or situation we find ourselves in. We have been reassured of the bread of eternal life through the heavenly gift of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Prayer: Abba Father, thank you for the gift of your only son. May our minds be attentive to the words spoken through Him. Amen
