Napoleon once said, “The army marches on its stomach.” As Christians, we can fill ourselves with many needs but the Lord Jesus has this to say – “My meat is to do the will of Him that sent Me, and to finish His work.” (John 4:34) For us, Paul encourages us – “to know the love of Christ which passeth knowledge that ye might be filled with all the fullness of God.” (Ephesians 3:19)
Very often, we have different and varied needs. Are those really needs? Doesn’t it say that is God cares for the sparrows and knows our needs and the very number of hairs on our heads which amounts to Him caring for us? Of prime importance to Jesus is to fulfill His Father’s will and that He did on the cross where He said, “It is finished!”
We can build ourselves up in the most holy faith if other distractions do not cloud our lives. It is no wonder why many children of God have lost their sense of being filled. Physically, we know what hunger is and we know where to find the most satisfying food for our tummies. It is hoped that as you read this, if you ever read, you are challenged to grow in grace and in the knowledge of God and to loyally do so whatever the cost.
May God’s blessings be on you as you finish reading this bit of healthy spiritual food!
