A Full Belly

The next morning the crowd woke to find Jesus and the disciples had not returned. Now they were hungry and still far from any markets. Spying a couple of boats that had just landed a group of them decided to cross over to Capernaum where someone had heard the disciples were headed. When they arrived they were surprised to see Jesus standing there. They had seen the disciples get into boats, but saw Jesus heading toward the mountain alone. So how did he get there?

When they asked Jesus he answered, “You ask m, not because you saw he signs, but because you ate of the loaves and were filled. Do not labor for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to everlasting life, which the Son of Man will give you, because God the Father has set his seal on him” (John 6:26-27).

Don’t just seek God so that he will fill your bellies. Seek God.
