My Food is to do the will of the Father

John 4:34 - "“My food,” said Jesus, “is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work."

I love this verse. Jesus is saying, I live to do the will of the Father. He saying, this is what I crave. This is what satisfies me.  This is what sustains me. 

Think of a time when there was a certain food you craved. You hadn't had it for sometime, and you feel like you have to have it. You feel like you would do anything to get it. Think of a food that you feel you couldn't live without. What is most basic food.

As believers, we need to live for him alone. Even as our bodies crave food. We are to crave the Father. We live to do the work of God, His will. We should be compelled to obey Him and do His work. It should be what we live for.
