1. Cast all your cares on Him because He cares for you. 1 Peter 5:7 is clear that God cares and wants us to lay our burdens at His feet. If we turn to food or others things for comfort, we deprive ourselves and Him. We need Him and He desires a relationship with us, that will give us the peace and joy we seek.
2. When Jesus had finished speaking to the woman at the Well, his disciples brought Him food, as they had not eaten. The woman at the well had just found the Water of life, and had run to the village to share the Good News of Jesus with everyone she get to listen. Jesus is still in that moment when He answers the disciples and states "My work is to do the will of Him who sent me". Chew on that one!
3. Give us this day our
daily bread. God provided the Israelites in the wilderness with manna daily, he told them not to stock up, he would provide again tomorrow. Jesus will give us what we need each day, each meal. If we take more than we need it becomes a burden, not a comfort.
4. Enough is as good as a feast. This is not in the Bible, however, it's a great point. If you have had enough, you have had enough. At some point you need to put down your fork, sooner is better than later.
5. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free John 8:32. The truth of God's love is not simple to grasp. Satan does all he can to keep us from the truth. When we do grasp it however, we can begin to let go of the substitutes that have come between us and freedom. Pray daily for God to lead you to the truth, so you can more easily spot the lies. Freedom is attainable.
