I was reading Matt. 14:13-21 and found it amazing that Jesus refused to send the people away hungry. He didn’t do his “work” and then call it a day. He saw all of their needs and knew they needed to be fed. I think in the same way He sees all of our needs and all the ones we don’t even know about. It’s a simple truth but I saw this…
No one that comes to Jesus hungry and broken will go away hungry. They will not leave without Jesus filling them up with what he has to give. Pharisees and other religious teachers came to him with a lot of pride and walked away dissatisfied even though Jesus still gave them something to think about. Think about that in your daily walk with Christ…no one that comes to the feet of Jesus with brokenness, spiritually thirsty and hungry will walk away without receiving his grace of being fed. The question for us then is this: Will we let go of struggling to meet our own needs and desires and come to the Giver of Life, the only one who can give real life, real joy, real peace, real love, and real strength?
