Scripture: John 6:35
Reflection:
Every day, our hearts search for something to fill us. We hunger for success, affirmation, comfort, distraction, or control. Yet no matter how much we consume—news, social media, entertainment, or achievement—we often feel empty again by the end of the day. Jesus speaks directly to this deep ache when He says, “I am the bread of life.” He is not offering temporary relief but lasting satisfaction.
Just as your body needs daily nourishment, your soul needs daily feeding. When Scripture becomes secondary to the noise around us, our spiritual strength weakens. Anxiety grows. Temptation feels stronger. Hope feels distant. But when we begin the day with Christ, everything else is placed in the right perspective. His truth grounds us. His presence steadies us. His promises remind us who we are and what truly matters.
Lent invites you to re-train your hunger. Instead of reaching first for your phone, your email, or the latest headlines, reach first for the living Word. Let your first intake be truth, not noise. Over time, you will notice your desires shifting. You will crave peace more than distraction, depth more than surface, and God’s voice more than the world’s.
Today, before any media, feed your soul. Even a few minutes in Scripture is a declaration: Christ is enough.
Challenge:
Set your Bible where you will see it first thing in the morning. Before checking your phone or turning on the news, read one passage slowly. Ask, “What does this show me about Jesus?” Carry that truth with you throughout the day.
Prayer:
Lord Jesus, You are the Bread of Life. I confess that I often try to fill my heart with things that cannot satisfy. Reorder my hunger. Teach me to seek You first. Feed my soul with Your Word, and help me find lasting joy and strength in You alone. Amen.
