47 Very truly I tell you, the one who believes has eternal life. 48 I am the bread of life. 49 Your ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, yet they died. John 6:47-49
Have you ever taken a close look at bread? If you start from the beginning including all the ingredients to make bread, there are not so many, but the process of making bread can be very problematic if you do something wrong with the simple directions. I made some bread(quickly) in the breadmaker this week and some may not know, but you have to get your milk to a lukewarm temperature. The reason for this part of the process is so you don't kill the yeast, which of course is a living organism that causes the bread to rise before it is cooked. When making bread by hand, it can be very strenuous when kneading the ingredients together to form a nice rounded piece of dough to rise. In my case, by quickly mixing my loaf ingredients together before it was time, the final loaf ended up being a dense small loaf and didn't last past a day because my hurried actions killed all the yeast. If we think of God being the perfect ingredient in our life, and if we would just let Him be in control of the ingredients in our life, we would be much happier and rise to each and every occasion. When we don't let God help us, or go out on our own way of mixing ingredients, we can become hardhearted and leave the blessings God provides behind. Take a moment to let the bread of life work in you and help find the one who can solve your hunger.
Have a great weekend.
Matt
