John 6:27 Do not labor for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to eternal life, which the Son of man will give to you; for on him has God the Father set his seal."
How much time do we spend working for money to feed our selves and to provide shelter and clothing for our selves? How much time do we spend trying to get our selves into better physical condition, and how much time do we spend exploring self-help methods and reading books about how to build up our self esteem?
Then, how much time do we spend meditating on God’s laws? How much time do we spend contemplating the meaning of the sacraments? How much time do we spend learning how to love others and to die to our selves?
In a way, our worlds are totally upside down. We spend almost all our time on the food that perishes.
Father, help me by your Holy Spirit to spend my time and efforts on the food that you give me that leads to eternal life.
Amen
