John 6
As we continue in John 6, Jesus walks on water (v16-24), and then teaches those following Him (including "The Twelve", other followers, Jews, etc.) about how He is the Bread of Life (v25-59). Many of His disciples found the teaching hard (v60) as it seemed to them He was literally telling them to eat His body and drink His blood. Some of the disciples turned their back and no longer followed Jesus (v66).
For me, at least a couple of takeaways - we cannot decide what about scripture we like and what we don't like.
See Add to Bible, Bible, Bible is perfect, Study of Bible, Subtract from Bible.
We also see scripture that reinforces how faith is a gift from God.
My Prayer: Lord Jesus, You are an amazing God who loves me and who is always at work in my life performing miracles! Thank You Jesus! I am not deserving of such blessings and miracles. I worry. Please forgive me Jesus and help me overcome and turn from my sin towards You. Help me love You with all of my heart, soul, and mind and love others as You love me. Help me grow in my faith. Give Lisa and myself wisdom and strength. Please heal Lisa of her cancer and from the side effects of chemo. Help us lead Zach and Dustin to You Jesus and for them to choose You as their Lord and Savior. Please provide Godly friends and spouses to Zach and Dustin. Help me serve You, my family, my church, and others. Help me understand, be obedient to, and apply Your message for me today and every day.
["]Yet there are some of you who do not believe." For Jesus had known from the beginning which of them did not believe and who would betray him. v64

All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. 2 Timothy 3:16
