A Missed Lunch
May 22, 2013

For me, food is more than a necessity—it’s a wonderfully enjoyable part of life! I enjoy sitting down to a well-prepared meal, especially when I’m feeling hungry. I imagine that the disciples were hungry for lunch when they returned to the well where Jesus was interacting with the Samaritan woman. They urged Him, “Rabbi, eat” (John 4:31). His response? “I have food to eat of which you do not know” (v.32), which made them wonder if someone had already brought Him something to eat (v.33).

I wonder if the disciples were so consumed with thinking about food that they couldn’t see past their picnic. They didn’t understand the significance of what was going on at the well. The most important thing to Jesus was “to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to finish His work” (v.34). He was focused on the spiritual needs of this woman who desperately needed what only He could give.

It’s easy to become preoccupied with needs of the moment. But Jesus invites us to get beyond our own interests—our own little “lunch”—to open our eyes to the souls who are searching for answers to their deepest needs.

So, join Jesus at the well, and let Him use you to tell others about the spiritual food only He can give.

Dear Lord, may my eyes be fixed not just on the things
I am interested in, but lift my eyes to see the
needy souls around me. Give me passion for the lost
and the joy of seeing others satisfied in You.

Be hungry to satisfy the needs of others around you.

Read: John 4:27-38

Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to finish His work.” —John 4:34

Bible in a Year:
1 Chronicles 16-18; John 7:28-53

Hi, Teenie!
Love your 'Warm Fuzzy Wednesday' Teddy bears!
Only, I'm hoping for a "Cool Fuzzy Wednesday",
as it is going to be close to 90, today!

"Mae West was big when I was born"

I wanted to find a sweet quote by Mae West to post for you
But she was a very naughty lady
and most of her quotes were not "Church Lady" quotes. LOL!

[MEG33]

Love it!
;o)

In almost every loss, there is a miracle, somewhere. Hopefully we will have our eyes open wide enough to see it!
