John 6:27 (King James Version)
27Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.
In today’s economy so many people are struggling to provide just the basic necessities to their family. If you have ever had to make tough choices like whether to buy toothpaste or toilet paper because you couldn’t afford both – you know how heart wrenching this can be. While I do want to dedicate one day a week to the topic of food – and share some of my fantastic recipes. I thought it a good place to start with a discussion about the place that food should take in our life.
We always want to strive for balance…..I firmly believe that there is nothing wrong with enjoying great food but seeking it out should not be a focus of our life. Similarly, we shouldn’t work all week long just to go and spend evey cent earned on eating out. The scriptures in John chapter 6 tell us that instead we should hunger for Jesus, the bread of life. Seek Him first and He will give seed to the sower and bread to the eater.
