(Living On) Bread and Water

"Cast your bread upon the waters,
for after many days you will find it again."
Ecclesiastes 11:1

"Whoever believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him.” By this He meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were later to receive. Up to that time the Spirit had not been given, since Jesus had not yet been glorified."
John 7:38, 39

We were made to live on bread and water. In the natural world these represent the basics, the very simplest of essential nourishment, synonymous with sustenance.
Jesus is the bread of life, He chose to be born in Beit Lechem, His hometown's name translated literally "House of Bread". Without Him, the Bread, our existence is meaningless, we are starved out from the promised abundant life, we are spiritual POW's, emaciated, like walking dead. In Him is fullness, light, joy, freedom, and so much more.
He is the fountainhead of the streams of living water. So many of Jesus' deeds during His earthly ministry involved water; His living water renews, heals, refreshes, strengthens, and satisfies, like nothing else can, or ever, will.
There is no substitute, try as we often will, to find one.
He is the only One who can satisfy that hunger and thirst deep down inside we all have.
Do you hunger and thirst today, beloved?
Blessing in right in front of you: "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for they will be filled." (Matt.5:6)

Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never go hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty. John 6:35
