JUNK FOOD or SOUL FOOD?

And Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst. But I said to you that you have seen Me and yet do not believe. All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out. For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me. This is the will of the Father who sent Me, that of all He has given Me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day.  And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day.” (John 6:35-40)

Jesus fed thousands, yet He offers eternal food and drink to EVERYONE. Why then do we seek JUNK FOOD that can go bad when we can have SOUL FOOD?

I ask for bills to be paid and success for kids in school and vacation plans and on and on, yet I already have more than any of that in Christ. Why do I worry about tomorrow when God has already been there and back and tells me it will be ok?

If I had all the money I needed and went shopping for groceries, would I buy the JUNK FOOD or the healthy alternatives? So why then when offered true SOUL FOOD from the Savior do I still seek the JUNK?

When will I see Jesus as not just enough for me, not simply a better choice, but the best for me? Lord...more of YOU please!
