Are We Any Different?

The Good News Today Is...we are able to grow in our faith.

This from EBulletin:

The crowd retorts with, what must we do to be doing the works of God? There is but one work, according to Jesus, that leads to eternal satisfaction, believing on the one whom God has sent. The work that is necessary is the exercise of faith. They must believe. Then Jesus offers himself not only as the object of belief but as the very Bread of Life. Amazingly this crowd, who only hours before had witnessed Jesus feeding in excess of five thousand people, immediately asks for a sign from him so they can believe him. We may be taken aback at their lack of faith and seeming audacity in asking for a sign when most of the crowd had undoubtedly witnessed a number of signs already. But are our own responses so very different? Do we recognize, appreciate and meditate upon the signs of God’s presence and power in our own daily experience? Do we recognize the sacred in what we so often take for granted as the “common” things of life?

Walk through your day knowing that Jesus is in it and revel at the many miracles you witness at every turn. Make your faith solid in Him and be satisfied.
