Thanksgiving is the one and only time most people give focused thought to what they are thankful for. Then when it is over, they move onto overindulgence of materialism for Christmas. This morning, I was sitting in quiet, thinking of images of dining tables overflowing with super-abundance of food.
It quickly all faded away into other images of hungry starving people. And the scene changed in my mind into a deeper hunger that is spiritual. Yes, the first course is to feed those that are hungry, then comes the spiritual need. Though there are many who have plenty of food but are starving for God's love. I began to think of how the entire Bible from Genesis to Revelation is all about hunger and thirst.
After Jesus resurrection He asked Peter if he loved Him three times. After he said, "Yes, Lord" three times," Jesus replied three times, "Feed My lambs, feed My sheep, Feed my sheep." But He did not tell Peter what to feed them with. It is understood that the Lord meant to feed them with Himself, the Bread of Life.
There is no shortage of hungry people around you. But there is a deeper, eternal need. People are hungry and starving for love, comfort, company, compassion, a conversation, a phone call, a visit and for prayer. When the disciples asked Jesus to send the five thousand away to go into the next towns to buy bread, Jesus replied, "You feed them."
You can feed as many as Christ did all the days of your life. It is not just a plate of food delivered, or a text message. No, it is so much more. Do you love Jesus? Then feed His lambs and sheep and there will flow out of your over-abundance like streams in their deserts. Feed them with the love-food of the Great Shepherd.
"Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed."
"I am the Bread of LIFE." John 6:27;35.
"The Christian should never worry about tomorrow or give sparingly because of a possible future need. Only the present moment is ours to serve the Lord and tomorrow may never come...Life is worth as much as it is spent for the Lord's service."
