Every morning

Every morning, I wake up and immediately want to get straight to a lot of different things. Where to go first? I want to shower, to pray, to prepare fresh fruit for my family who won't eat it if I don't, and who get up early. I want to check my email; I want to read my Bible portion for the day. Maybe get a jump on the laundry, depending on the day. I still haven't gotten myself a routine regarding in which order to do these things. It varies. I feel pulled by them all. Usually the first thing I do these days is look out the window to see if it has snowed again overnight. 

This morning, reading in John 6:29-59, I noticed a lot of good, basic verbs of what I need to be doing regarding Jesus:

- BELIEVE in (v. 29, 40, 47)

- COME to (v. 37, 45)

- LOOK to (v. 40)

- LISTEN to (v. 45)

- LEARN from (v. 45)

- REMAIN in (v. 56)

- FEED on (v. 57)

And the result is that I can truly:

- LIVE (now and even more fully after this short life is over, v. 58)

What I shouldn't do: "grumble about him" (v. 41).

I love the things Jesus says in this passage, for example:

"I am the bread of life." (v. 35)

and

"Whoever comes to me I will never drive away." (v. 37)
