-----YOU FEED THEM

--[Please Read/ Mark 6:36-37 (NIV®)
“Send the people away so they can go to the surrounding countryside and villages and buy themselves something to eat.” But he answered, “You give them something to eat.” --

~~~Jesus had been with the crowd all day, no doubt teaching and ministering to the sick and the demonized. The disciples were handling logistics, and they had no plan to feed thousands of people. You know what happened next: Jesus fed the crowd with five loaves of bread and two fish, and the disciples picked up twelve baskets of leftovers.

This story isn’t about the miracle of people being fed nearly as much as it is about the disciples being invited to a deeper understanding of the Kingdom of God. Jesus could have said, “Good job, guys. Now watch while I feed these people.” Instead, after an exhausting day, He said, “You feed them.” God has plans for our lives, but in order to complete them, there are lessons we will need to learn. Sometimes God puts us in places where we will have to believe Him to do the impossible in order for us to grow in our understanding of what He is able to do.

THINK ABOUT IT
Impossible situations teach us a new definition of sufficiency. The Apostle Paul learned to rejoice in challenging circumstances, convinced that it was precisely in those places that he would most fully experience God’s power.

PRAYER
~~"Heavenly Father, thank You for bringing me face to face with impossible situations so I can learn this truth: “All things are possible with God.” I rejoice in Your grace, provision, and power at work on my behalf to carry out Your will. In Jesus’ name, amen."
Blessings,
Pastor Allen Jackson
