Bite, Chew, Graze
Are you hungry? Is there a gnawing in you? Do you feel that something is missing? Do you feel that no matter what you do, purchase, or where you go, you still want more? Do you fill the emptiness but it quickly returns?
If so, maybe it’s your spirit that is hungry. If that is the case, the solution isn’t more food, clothes, or earthly success. The solution is Jesus who describes Himself in John 6:51 as the bread of life who came from heaven. “I am the living bread that came down out of heaven; if anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread also which I will give for the life of the world is My flesh.”
Jesus is to our spirit what food is to our body. Our body can’t live without food. Our spirit can’t live without Jesus.
Receive Christ as Savior if you haven’t already. Then, begin each day with bite-size Bible verses. Chew on them throughout the day. At night, graze on the promises of God. Go to sleep with your soul filled and satisfied in Christ. Wake hungry for more of Jesus. Grow as a Christian and feed others.
Lord Jesus, I praise You, BREAD OF LIFE. Thank You for coming from heaven and being to my spirit what food is to my body. Help me recognize my hunger is only filled by You. Increase my appetite for the Bible and fill me with Your Words so I grow as a Christian.

STRENGTH
“Blessed be the Lord,
Because He has heard the voice of my supplication.
The Lord is my strength and my shield;
My heart trusts in Him, and I am helped;
Therefore my heart exults,
And with my song I shall thank Him.”
Psalm 28:6-7
Do you ever feel weak or like you can’t go on – at least by yourself? Psalm 28:6-7 reminds us that we’re not alone. Nor do we have to do this thing called being a mother, spouse, widow, single person, or bread winner alone. We may be weak but God is our strength. Does your heart trust in God? If so, you’ll find help. And, you’ll find a trusting heart is a rejoicing heart and a thankful heart.
Heavenly Father, thank You that You are always there and no matter how weak I feel, You are my STRENGTH. I love You and praise You!
HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!

PROVIDER
“…does He who provides you with the Spirit and works miracles among you, do it by the works of the Law, or by hearing with faith?”
Galatians 3:5
“I need provisions! I need help.” We’ve all been there. We’ve felt short of what we need and incapable in some regard. God wants us to know that we don’t have to feel that way in regard to our relationship with Him or what He calls us to do. He makes it clear that He has provided us with His Spirit. We’re not short on provisions. Instead of saying we can’t live the Christian life we can look to God. We can ask Him to fill us with His all providing Spirit. That’s something for which to praise Him!
Lord, You are the PROVIDER, who provides me with Your Spirit. I praise You!
