Bible Verse of the Day:
Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, it is not Moses who has given you the bread from heaven, but it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven. 33 For the bread of God is the bread that comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.” 34 “Sir,” they said, “always give us this bread.” 35 Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty, John 6:32-35.
Biblical Connection:
Chuck Noland is the sole survivor of a plane crash, stranded on a remote island in the Pacific Ocean. Thinking about his wife by opening up a locket with her picture inside, Chuck does everything in his power to survive until he is rescued. Unfortunately, no one comes to save Chuck, so he builds a raft, studies the tides and sets out to sea when a freighter spots him.
Jesus addresses physical and spiritual needs which bring life to human beings. Beyond the obvious of food and drink, Jesus provides a foreshadowing to the words of John 10:10. The abundant life isn’t about the daily fight for survival. Rather, the abundant life is how God designed human beings to spend their days on earth.
Closing Song:
Daily routines can lull Christians into sleep spiritually if you are not careful. The will to survive is only half the battle in life. Fighting the father of all lives who seeks to steal your joy like a spiritual thief requires the armor of God to stand your ground.
