Basic Needs

We've all heard it before. The necessities for life are food, water and shelter. But really, you could live without shelter. Not pleasantly, but a few leaves or a good hole in the ground would suffice. What's left? Food and water... anything else? What about sunlight? Without it the earth would freeze, leaving every living thing to die.

But, have you ever related your physical needs to what is required to sustain your spiritual life?

Food - "I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry again." John 6:35

Water - "Those who drink the water I give will never be thirsty again. It becomes a fresh, bubbling spring within them, giving them eternal life." (John 4:13)

Light - "I am the light of the world. If you follow me, you won't have to walk in darkness, because you will have the light that leads to life." (John 8:12)

We know how far most people would go to get their basic needs. Fulfilling your spiritual needs is way simpler. God is waiting, always ready to feed you, quench you and light your way. No grocery store lines, waiting lists or SPF numbers.
