Bread of Life

Today I read Deuteronomy 23:8-27:26 and John 6:33-7:19. My favorite verses are:

Deuteronomy 27:10 Thou shalt therefore obey the voice of the LORD thy God, and do his commandments and his statutes, which I command thee this day.

John 6:35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.

To obey God is important because it allows us to live in harmony with others as well as with God. His commandments tell us how to get along with people around us—they are good, common sense rules. Jesus went further in His instructions for life. He tells us that if we come to Him, we will never want for anything. We will not only have what we need in this life, we will have eternal life with Him. He doesn’t promise to give us everything we want, but our needs will be met. He is the bread of life; He sustains us day by day. Rest in Him for today and forever.
