We
thank You, Lord, that "we do not live by bread alone" (Deuteronomy
8:3). We need bread for the body. We also need Jesus, the Bread of Life
(John 6:35). Help us, Lord, not to become too easily satisfied by the
things of this world. Help us never to forget that we need Jesus.
Without Him, there will always be something missing. With Him, there
will be a new - eternal - sense of meaning, purpose and direction.
You call us, Lord, to return to You. You promise to welcome us (2 Chronicles 30:9). Where does our returning come from? Where does our rejoicing come from? They both come from You. You put it into our hearts - to return to You (2 Chronicles 30:12). What joy there is for us when we return to You - "The good Lord pardons every one who sets his heart to seek God" (2 Chronicles 30:18-19).
