The bread you really need

Morning: Psalm 68; 1 Kings 19:9–18; Ephesians 4:17–32
Evening: Psalm 72; John 6:15–27

After he ‘feeds the 5000’, they want to make Jesus king.  He knows they want his power to supply their food and other necessities.  He warns against seeking only perishable bread.  Rather, work for what feeds your soul, what helps you live a full life. Jesus is saying … you may want to give power to people who make your dreams come true.  But your dreams are too small if they’re just about survival … I want you to ‘taste’ all that life promises … I want you to really live …  I am the ‘bread’ you really need.
