Bread of Life

When Jesus said He was the Bread of Life, He wasn’t talking about filling your stomach.  The Bread of Life is Jesus Himself.  We eat (bread) daily to give us energy and to help us get through the day.  That bread would be our physical bread.  But we also need spiritual bread.  That spiritual Bread is Jesus.

How do you feed yourself, physically and spiritually?  In order to feed yourself physically, you put food in your mouth.  You don’t eat every thing in your kitchen all at once.  You eat a little at a time with variety.  That’s how it should be when you feed yourself spiritually. You need to put food (Bread) into your spirit.  You needto do it a little at a time.  My brain goes into overload and I won’t remember if I read too much at once.  So, I read daily.  I take in a little at a time. I’ll read Psalms one day and then read some of the Gospels.  Then, I think on it, pray about it, and dwell on it the rest of the day.  By reading my Bible a little at a time, I am feeding and growing in my spiritual life a little at a time.

Another way to feed your spirit to listen to Christian music.  There is a great radio station in my areas and it plays uplifting Christian music.  I also have CD’s to pop in my car if I get tired of the radio.  I have CD’s to calm me down and other to get me to jump to the beat.

How do you eat your Bread (the Bread of Jesus)?  How do you feed your spirit?
