Taking the five loaves and the two fish, he gave thanks and broke them. Then he gave them to the disciples to set before the people. They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve baskets of broken pieces that were left over.
--Luke 9:16-17
They all ate and were satisfied....do we often feel satisfied? Satisfied, the text says; not stuffed...not miserable from eating too much..not "I just couldn't eat another bite right now..let's wait a little while for dessert" not feeling guilty from overeating...just wonderfully satisfied....the perfect amount...
and there were left-overs...
Blessed are they who hunger and thirst after
righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.
--Matthew 5:6
Are we sometimes eating and just keep eating for the wrong reasons...or for no reason at all?
Pray to be "satisfied"
