June 20: John 6:30-33

Key Verse: John 6:30
So they asked him, “What sign then will you give that we may see it and believe you? What will you do?

Devotion:
What does it take for you to believe something? Do you have to see it in action or do you trust what other people tell you? What then has brought you to the stage where you sought out the great questions of life and of God?

For some it has been a traumatic event in their lives which has made them question their own lives and turn to find comfort in God. For some it is the mundane existence of their lives which has led to them seeking something more from life and found themselves looking at God. But, whatever has happened in your life to get you to this stage where you are seeking God, just remember one thing: It is what comes down from God in Heaven which makes all the sense and what we should be seeking.

We like to try and justify things through earthly events and like to make sense of things according to our own rules or expectations – but sometimes it is beyond our comprehension and we just have to accept there is more to life than our existence. God continues to try and allow people to see how much more to life there is than what we see. He tries to open our hearts to allow true love to come in. He allows many things in our lives so we can try and identify what parts come from Him.

But all through this, He is continuing to pour out His love to us and continues to lift us up when we trip up and stumble. As long as we are willing listen to what we are hearing from God, we are going to be able to achieve what He would like us to do. But when we turn up the volume of the world instead, we lose focus on Him and allow our minds to go off for a wander into the pitfalls the evil one has laid down before us. It is the bread from Heaven which will feed us and allow us to grow stronger each day.

Points to Ponder:
Do you try to survive on whatever food you can get hold of?

Do you continue to look after your spiritual life with bread from Heaven?
