The Why

For the bread of God is the one who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.” So they said to Him, “Sir, give us this bread all the time!” Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. The one who comes to Me will never go hungry, and the one who believes in Me will never be thirsty.  John 6:33-35 NET

Jesus, You are our river of life. Thank You for planting us in Your presence and filling us with joy and fruit for Your glory! Amen! 

Loving Jesus is more than an emotion; it is a life lived according to God’s ways, we get to praise Him singing worship and we get to praise Him by listening quietly to Holy Spirit-  we get to praise God by trusting Him with our innermost prayers we praise Him by reading the Bible. Inviting Holy Spirit into our very life, all of these actions are the daily choices we make about our thoughts, our relationships, and our character which indicate whether we trust God, love Jesus, rely on Holy Spirit. 

We get to choose to overcome evil or we can choose to succumb to it. We get to choose to get into God’s word and become connected with God Himself.  

Its certainly tempting to question God and demand answers when things don’t go as we in the flesh had planned or when the unexpected happens. Jesus has compassion for us in those moments. But while we can wrestle with things that are hard to understand, there comes a time when we must implicitly trust God even when we don’t like or agree with the whys and hows of our life.  Jesus is the Who the Why the How.
