I want the bread of heaven!

I want the bread of heaven.

I'm so sick of the food of this world, it brings a sickness to my stomach and a bad taste in my mouth.

The other day I was thinking about how much I hate eating sometimes.
When nothing sounds good to eat.
i think i consume the food of the world not just physically but emotionally, mentally and worst spiritually.
The fruit of this world is stale and rotten.

The more i think about this the more i'm struck with how much off Jesus' parables where about farming and food.
The parable of the sower (mark 4:1-25) the parable of the Growing seed (mark 4:26-34) the parable of the mustard seed (matt. 13:33-34) the parable of the lost sheep (luke 15:1-7) parable of the workers and the vineyard (matt 20:1-16)

What is produced by your hands the work of your labor these are the things Jesus spoke about. And he took them very seriously.

What we build with our hands what we put in our mouths cannot be simple and flippant.
We are to beautiful (in the likeness of good) to treat ourselves this way.


i want the bread of heaven!
i want solid food that lasts.



I want manna (Exodus 16) and the daily bread that God provides (matt. 6:11)

I want to be full of His goodness!
I want to be stuffed!
