January 27
Running with Jesus

Luke 6:21A "Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. 

     Jesus was looking from a mountain down to a multitude. The world had brought them so much sorrow. Remember they were bringing sick, lame, diseased, and helpless people to Him. They were spiritually starved. Their religion was all external with rules that outcast many of them. People in America have eaten at the world's table so much they do not realize they are starving spiritually. We need to approach God's Word hungry and ready to eat the bread of life. Man does not live by physical bread alone but every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. God will bless those who come hungry and He says He will fill us. He filled us with His spirit when we invited Him in and wants to keep us full. For years I was starving and a malnourished Christian. Let's not starve, go eat regularly at His table and we will be a blessed, happy runner with Jesus. To be a good runner we must be filled with the right nutrients to be able to go the distance! Have you eaten this morning? Come taste and see the Lord is good.
     If you are not filled with Jesus, you better check out and see if you are really in His race! We eat foods that never satisfy, like carbs in a few minutes you want more. Eating protein will satisfy your cravings. Jesus is like protein that runners eat for strength! You need Jesus to maintain your strength for the run through life, come ye who are weary. There is nothing in this world that can bring satisfaction to the soul, only Jesus! You will run like a chicken with his head cut off just flopping around with no direction, no satisfaction, and no contentment. Bring your hungry soul to Jesus, He will satisfy your need. 

Father, feed us and fill our cup this morning! You give true satisfaction! Oh how blessed we are when You feed us. Help us always show up at Your table.

Weeping? Come tomorrow and let Jesus console you!
