John 6:27 “Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you.” We, in America enjoy the benefits of living in a country where richness abounds. We can easily succumb to a life which puts eternity and our Heavenly Father secondary and pleasures on this earth as primary. Let’s not let that happen. Let’s listen to the wisdom of our Savior through the words of His servant John. I am sad to tell you one of the guys at our Lighthouse ministry was sentenced yesterday to 5 years in prison. Please pray that he faithfully continues serving his Heavenly Father and is safe as he serves his sentence.

But, 5000 people were fed with 12 baskets gathered after all had eaten. Jesus was just a philosopher in His time? Impossible!! Only God could perform such a miracle. How beautiful it is to have Jesus walk at your and my side!

John 6:5-6 “When Jesus looked up and saw a great crowd coming toward him, he said to Philip, ‘Where should we buy bread for these people to eat?’ He asked this only to test him, for he already had in mind what he was going to do.” Does God ever test your and my insecurities? God constantly reminds us—Trust me. But do we many times try and solve our problems and forget our problem solving God walks by our side? God tells us to use our God given talents, but always remember, He is constantly at our side—live with that confidence.

John 5:30b “…for I seek not to please myself but him who sent me.” This thought from God goes totally against our human nature, At the same times this thought totally conforms to our God nature. What are you and I to do? As a faith-filled, adopted, loved and redeemed child of God we have no choice but to pray we do our Father’s will. We pray we do our Father’s will in our thoughts, words and actions. Have a great weekend.

John 5:24a “‘Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life…”‘ Every religion on earth uses the word –do– except Christianity which uses the word —done—. Reread our passage for today and you will find the word—done—written all over it. You and I can do nothing to gain the perfection God demands. Jesus has done it all. Therefore,–done. Be very happy because of the little word–done.

Eternity is at stake. It does not matter how many religions and how many people do not follow this truth. God has spoken His absolute truth.

John 5:8-9a “Then Jesus said to him, ‘Get up! Pick up your mat and walk.’ At once the man was cured; he picked up his mat and walked.” Is there anything Jesus cannot do? Then and now? You and I are in safe hands.

You and I are just as ordinary knowing the extraordinary. Not everyone understands that fabulous truth. It is your and my responsibility to make that truth known. If we don’t, the world will suffer a great loss. If we do many will be blessed. Be a blessing!

John 4:13 “Jesus answered,’Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst…”‘ The impossible happens when we have a relationship with our Savior. Our craving for purpose happens. Our mental capacity for contentment and peace is realized. Our eternal future is sealed. Our mind becomes focused on doing His will and not our own. We realize Heaven is our Home. We truly become His blessed child. Have a great weekend.
