Evening: Psalms 138, 139; John 6:16-27
Where’s the joy in life? I love it when Lake Huron freezes over because I get to walk on water! Just after Jesus ‘feeds the 5000’, here’s another miracle – he walks on water. Jesus says, though, that I only care about miracles when they provide something tangible, like bread. Instead, Jesus invites me to look for intangible soul-food that is truly life-giving. Wanting miracles keeps me searching for ‘magic bullet solutions’ to my problems … so I become unprepared for the effort that my challenges demand of me, and I’m unsurprised by the joys that life already offers. Like winter!
