| Jesus is Always by Our Side |
Verses: John 6 : 22 - 24
My thoughts about the verses:
I love this story because it shows to what extent people will go to follow God. Imagine just witnessing the miracle of thousands of individuals being fed with just enough food for a few. Then waking up the next morning and discovering that Jesus is no longer in your presence. Would you not want to find him?
In our lives we all have those moments that we feel like God is not near us. We believe that
God is far, far away. We forget that Jesus is always with us. In our darkest moments God is carrying us and keeping us safe. In our times of joy Jesus is there celebrating with us.
Jesus was teaching us that we must have the desire in our heart to follow him. The Holy Spirit is alive and ready to enter the hearts of every person that accepts Christ as their savior. Once you accept Christ as your savior you no longer have to search for peace.
Instead of searching for salvation and peace the new quest begins in your life. That quest is to serve God. Each one of us may travel the road of service that God has set before us. There are times that we must travel far outside our comfort zone to reach out to those that need God. We must always strive to reach the mark and to do what God desires.
The boat that the people entered was a true form of service. Their desire was to be closer to the one that they had personally seen perform miracles. Yet, at that moment and time they did not have a full comprehension of what was expected of them. They were going to learn more because they felt the tug in their hearts to draw closer to God.
For those of us that have experienced that life changing miracle we need to follow the example of this group of people. Their desire was to draw closer to God. Only by drawing closer to God through studying and faith will we ever fully understand the desires of God.
Prayer:
Dear God thank you for filling us with your love. We know that you only desire the best for us. Help us God be the servants that you want us to be. Help us follow you with faith. We offer you all the praise. In your Holy Name we Pray. Amen
Questions:
Have you chosen to follow God with all of your heart? What have you done to serve God? Do you trust God can carry you in the bad times? Do you feel God in the good times? Will you follow God and be of service to the risen savior?
