Jesus answered, 
"Truly I tell you, you are looking for me,
not because you saw  the signs,
but because you ate the loaves and were filled.
Don't work for the food that perishes but for the food that lasts for eternal life, which the Son of Man  will give you, because God the Father  has set his seal of approval on him."

"What can we do to perform the works of God?" they asked.

Jesus replied, 
"This is the work of God - that you believe in the one he has sent."
John 6:27-29 CSB

Not only were the people caught up in the signs, they then wanted to be able to do them. 
If Jesus has the Father's approval we want that too. 
And the way to get that approval is to be able to do these signs and wonders. How do we do that?
And Jesus says no. 
The signs point to me.
The only work that you need to do is to believe in me.
Believe in Jesus.
Believe in Jesus.
Believe in Jesus.
When we need a miracle, when life feels crushing, when we've been hurt, when things are going our way, in the joy, the goodness...believe in Jesus.
When our hope is so tangible we can fully grasp it, and when hope is nowhere to be found... believe in Jesus.
When we feel loved, abandoned, accepted, rejected, lost, known, cared for, or worthless... believe in Jesus.
Resting, working, studying, searching, creating, giving... believe in Jesus.

Joseph replied..."Dont you see, you planned evil against me but God used those same plans for my good, as you see all around you right now - life for many people..." Genesis 50:19-20 MSG The view from the drone. The different perspective. "God has been at work in my life despite, in fact within the hatred that you had towards me. Even though I couldn't always see it, I kept trusting Him, even when He was silent, when all hope seemed lost... God was at work... Can you see that now?" #faith #faithinthedark
Genesis 15.8-18.ESV But he said O Lord God , how am I to know that I shall possess it? ...When the sun had gone down and it was dark, behold, a smoking fire pot and a flaming torch passed between these pieces. On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram... March 15 was the last day we looked at Abram's story...he was questioning God and this is God's response...sacrifices and smoke and fire and a covenant...a promise... Isn't that what we crave for sometimes? God, if only you'd just show me smoke & fire, a burning bush a sign, miracle, healing...then all my questions would disappear...all my doubts would be gone... 2moro we'll see Abram's response but I think God values our faith in spite of our questions and doubts. That we choose Him anyway #faith
Psalm 42.1-11.nlt As the deer longs for streams of water, so I long for you, O God... I thirst for God, the living God. When can I go and stand before him? O God my rock l cry, Why have you forgotten me? Why must I wander around in grief, oppressed by my enemies? Their taunts break my bones. They scoff, Where is this God of yours? Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again - my Savior and my God! That song "as the deer pants for the water..." seems almost nice, but it's not...it's part of a cry of anguish, of hurt, of despair...of God not giving an answer...yet...through all that...again and again he says I'll put my hope in God! #choose #hope #hopeunshaken
