Thirst and hunger are two essentials we cannot live without. Our very existence revolves around eating and drinking. There those who can go with out eating for a long period of time either voluntarily or by force. Two little girls along with their dead mother were buried and after 15 days they were found; one was 8 and the other a new born. When they were found after the 15 days they asked the 8 years old how did she stay alive, and she said that a man came and woke the mom up so that she could feed the infant. Coming to Christ bring a satisfaction beyond comprehension; He satisfy our soul. And, today many come to God when they have needs and sure enough he does some pretty amazing things to satisfy their hunger. But, the fullness in God is not only found in coming to him when we are in need, we need to believe. Faith without works is dead faith James the apostle said (Ja. 2:17-20).
John 6:34-37
34 “Sir,” they said, “always give us this bread.”
35 Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty. 36 But as I told you, you have seen me and still you do not believe. 37 All those the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away.
Living life with just one of the components of life is an impossibility; we need both to eat and drink to live, and it goes the same with our spiritual life. An increase flow of people today believe that if they just come to God when they have needs that that is okay, but it is not. The writer of the Hebrews said that anyone who comes to God must also believe (Heb. 11:6). Eating and drinking of God it is essential for man to maintain a relationship with him. When Jesus mentioned the manna from heaven of which Moses prayed for asked Jesus to do the same. They like their ancestors (Ex. 16:4) were ready to receive the manna with unbelief, so the religious people asked Jesus in verse 34 for him to give them bread. The manna which God caused to rain over the people was just symbol of Jesus. Like many today the people wanted to come to God without having to really believe. There are many who are just hungry or just thirsty, they are half satisfied. When we come to God he will satisfy our souls with the finest (Ps.81:15-16, Jer.31:14). Some are out to spend what they have but not on what really satisfy (Is. 55:1-2). There is a possibility that some people could be starving or dehydrated in their spirit and only trying to survive portions. God is now a days sending abundance (Joe 2:19, ps.23:5).
