Are You Hungry?
"Yeshua answered, 'I am the bread of life! Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever trusts in me will never be thirsty.'” — John 6:35
I have the verse above as one of my affirmations, and lately, every time I read it, Yeshua starts a conversation with me. This time, He said, “What does it mean to come?”
Without even answering with my own thoughts, I went to my Strong’s Concordance and the dictionary to look up the word come. The definition is below:
Come: to enter, to accompany, move or travel toward, move closer, draw near
After reading the definition, I said, “Oh wow — to accompany? To enter in and draw near to You?”
He then began to tell me that when the verse says come, it does not mean to come and leave — it means to stay. When I first read that verse, I thought, But I have come to You — and yet sometimes I still feel spiritually hungry. But after studying the definition of the word come, I began to understand that I was coming — but not staying.
When I am inconsistent with my study and get off schedule, I’m not staying close to Yeshua. He showed me how I entered into this covenant relationship with Him. No matter what I do or where I go, I am always in this covenant with Him. However, I can sabotage the relationship when I neglect to sit in His presence and engage with His Word. If I’m not aligned with Him, He cannot communicate with me at the level I need — and I can end up spiritually hungry.
All the food is sitting at the table, but if we don’t take and eat, we will remain hungry. Yeshua is saying come — which means to remain. When we stay with Him and abide in His Word, He will fill us, and we will never go hungry.
