John 6:35

"Jesus said to them, 'I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst'"

This statement of Jesus follows the famous story of feeding the 5,000
From two fish and 5 loaves of bread Jesus provides enough food for over 5,000 people to have there fill
Now there must have been a significant number of people who didn't get to see the miracle up close, all they knew was that they were hungry and this guy Jesus was responsible for giving them food.
Even if they were told by others how the food was miraculously provided or if they had truly seen it up close, food is a very powerful motivator and if some is a source of free food when your hungry you're going to follow Him.
The people didn't get the purpose of the miracle, they didn't even place a huge value on Jesus... they just wanted food
I do this so often... I place such a high emphasis and desire on what Jesus can do for me instead of recognizing Jesus for who He is and what His purpose is.
Jesus is the bread of life... Jesus does not just provide us with our physical needs (which are so temporary) He is the only provision for eternal life. So instead of following around Jesus because it has given some temporary payoff, follow Jesus because He has given you eternal life and nothing can take that from you

verse of the day colossians 1:10

And we pray this in order that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God,

When I read this verse I am reminded of all the people who pray for me
While I very much appreciate those who pray for the prayer request such as exams and feeling sick or other things like that, it is the prayers that are like this verse that are truly felt and desperately needed.
God has blessed me with so many people who, like Paul, never stop praying for me since they have known me. This verse basically sums up everything you should and I should be praying for those who are our brothers and sisters in Christ, that they may live a life worthy of the Lord. This means that we are praying for those around us to live in obedience and complete joy in knowing Christ, this is repeated by also praying that they would bare fruit and grow in the knowledge of God. Bearing fruit is the result of obedience and the result of growing in knowledge of God is growing in joy.
So pray for those closest to you and those who you barely know that they would live worthy lives to God
and even more so be truly thankful for those whom you know that pray this for you and for those who don't even know you but are still praying for you in this way

verse of the day psalm 119: 37

"Turn my eyes from looking at worthless things; and give me life in your ways"

Psalm 119 is the longest chapter in the bible. This is fitting because the whole chapter is about God's word
the psalmist describes God's word in so many amazing ways and tells of all that come from following it.
In this verse it seems as though everything that is not first approached from the highest viewpoint of God's word is worthless, and since the psalmist finishes the verse by asking God to give him life, the worthlessness must mean death
This is the proper view of the importance of reading and obeying God's word. Knowing that searching after wisdom or pleasure in anything else will lead to death.
I pray that I may continually be turning my eyes to God's word so that my eyes would not be focused on the world.
Now the psalmist clearly does not mean that everything apart from God's word is worthless; things like family and friendship and hard work and love and so much more are great gifts from God, but can become worthless if God's word is not the root of our life with all of these things flowing from that
Enjoy the gifts of God along with the pleasure of His word
