01.27.10 We are HUNGRY! (:

Scripture: John 6:22-29

Verse: John 6:26-29

Jesus answered, “I tell you the truth, you are looking for me, not because you saw miraculous signs but because you ate the loaves and had your fill. Do not work for the food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. On him God the Father has placed his seal of approval.”
Then they asked him, “What must we do to the works God requires?”
Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent”

Observation:

The day after Jesus performed his miracle, the crowd goes into search for him due to their physical hunger. They knew Jesus had the ability to multiply bread and fish in order to feed their stomachs. They approached him with worldly intentions, not to develop a personal relationship with Him. They didn’t realize that they decided to eat the food that wouldn’t sustain them. God offers food of eternal life. Food that won’t spoil, but one that satisfies. We should work hard to earn the food God offers. Doing QT, fasting, praying, evangelizing, going to church, is all different types of food we need to stay healthy. We can’t have more of one, and not the other. We should be taking our meals daily.

Anyways, Jesus is the bread we need to sustain our lives. We should not only focus on our physical hunger, but our spiritual hunger. We should be craving Him every moment of our lives. He SHOULD be something we can’t live without. As much as we work to feed our stomachs, we should work our best to be fed spiritually. If we go too far without it, we shouldn’t be able to function. That’s how desperate and hungry I want to be for Christ. He is the bread that gives us life. His food is something we constantly need to take in. His food is something that we can never have enough of. Even if we constantly eat, and overflow, being filled with God is like a blessing in itself.

Application:

DOODE. Today is the perfect QT for CLUB DAY to come. LMBO.

I LOVE FOOOD. I really do, I should be showing that love for God’s food too. I’m too pampered by the luxury of eating physical food everyday. DANGG. I’m sooo freakin unappreciative. When I pray, I pray for provision, never for thanksgiving or appreciation.

Food is something that brings people together right? By sharing food, you start a personal relationship with the people you share it with. That’s how it should be with God too. We should share God. I believe that God is the food we all crave. All humans crave love, and I believe God is the source of all love. Sacrifice is the ultimate way of showing love. God shared his Son with us, and we should share the same love with others.

As my application, in order to practice my craving for Christ, I plan on fasting tomorrow. Fasting and praying comes hand to hand. Fasting food always helps me realize how blessed I am. Even knowing the fact that I’m able to eat as soon as I finish my fast is something I need to be appreciative about. Praying a prayer of thanksgiving (appreciation), adoration, confession, and provision. is really something I need in order to realize my hunger for Christ. Also, praying with Club Day in mind, tomorrow is the perfect day to fast!. That we’ll be able to be the hands God uses not only to feed others physically (with bulgogi tacos) but also spiritually. Haha’ it’ll be the best meal they’ve had in their lives. I think if all the leaders fast together, while praying for the club, it'll be the most powerful thing ever.

Currently Listening: We Are Hungry- Chris Tomlin

“We are hungry, we are hungry, we are hungry for more you.”

Prayer Topics:

1. For our Fellowship Club to feed a lot of hungry stomachs. (spiritually, and physically)

2. God to really pour his abundance upon my mom’s restaurant, and Club day.

3. For my hunger for Christ to be something I feed constantly.

4. Thank GOD, haha' I was a lot more energetic today(: More positive, and just alive and excited to go through the day
