Food for the Soul

During lent some people decide to fast, to refrain from certain foods or activities as acts of devotion to God. When I read John 4:34 "My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to accomplish His work", it seems that Jesus was "feasting." Oh that more of those who are genuine followers of Christ would find sustenance in doing what God has called us to do. Oh that ministry would nourish us spiritually. I don't think Jesus was saying he didn't have to eat anymore, but that in a real sense he was nourished in His soul by doing God's will. May our love for God grow to the place that serving Him nourishes our soul in ever increasing measure.
