John 6:22-29

King James Version (KJV)
22 The day following, when the people which stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was none other boat there, save that one whereinto his disciples were entered, and that Jesus went not with his disciples into the boat, but that his disciples were gone away alone;
23 (Howbeit there came other boats from Tiberias nigh unto the place where they did eat bread, after that the Lord had given thanks:)
24 When the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there, neither his disciples, they also took shipping, and came to Capernaum, seeking for Jesus.
25 And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither?
26 Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled.
27 Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.
28 Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?
29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.

    OBSERVE:
    Take a moment and write down three observations of the verses. What strikes you? An observation is an observable fact from the Word.
    1. Jesus withdraws
    2 People seek him for his signs and miracles
    3. When asked what should we do? Jesus responds, believe on him whom God has sent, i.e. Jesus.

    INTERPRETATION:

    It's easy to get wowed by miracles or signs or brilliant things that are flashy, but the real obedience to God is in the simple 'believing' on Jesus...when it isn't convenient. when it isn't flashy. when it doesn't always make sense.

    Believe. Believe in Jesus, whom God has sent.

    God has a plan. Our job is to believe it.




    APPLY

    Today, I learned to trust God and believe in him when I don't know what the next thing to do is; when things are not always clear, but I am to be obedient and believe.

    We should not hunger for health, wealth, or love because only God can satisfy the spiritual hunger in our heart and soul .

    Today, I learned I shouldn't look for signs and believe in Jesus and everything will work out in his time, not ours and apply it to my life
