Never go hungry

Today's devotion is based on John 6:35, "Then Jesus declared, "I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty."
We are so easily focused on the things of this world, thinking that if we could satisfy earthly longings, that we could thereby be content: "If only I had more money in my retirement account, then I could be happy." "If only I had a different job, then I could be happy." "If only I could get that new car, house, clothes, shoes, furniture, television, then I would be satisfied." It never works.
What we need most is food for our souls. We need to know that our sins are forgiven and that we are at peace with God. We need to know where we are going when we leave this world. We need to have an answer to guilt and a purpose in life.
And in Jesus, we get all of those things. Jesus paid for our sins and washed our guilt away. Jesus opened the gates of heaven for us. And in loving and serving Jesus, we are given purpose in life. So do you never want to be hungry again? Then feast on God's Word, which contains the good-news message of Jesus, your Savior.
Please pray with me the prayer for today: O Savior, feed me! Lead me into your Word, that I might feast on the truths that my sins are forgiven, that I'm at peace with you, that I'm your eternal child. Use the Bible to bring lasting satisfaction to my soul, that it might rest in confidence. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
