Jesus said, “Make the people sit down.” Now there was much grass in the place; so the men sat down, in number about five thousand.
John 6:10
Lord what a crowd gathered to hear You. It is rather amazing to me how many where there. This was a time in history when there was no TV to make the announcement. We know there were more than just men because Andrew had just told You that there was a lad with five loaves and two fishes. Scripture does not tell us how many women and children were there. But ….all were there because of You Lord. They wanted to hear what You would say and if there would be any healings. There was excitement in the air. It was time for them to eat and yet no one was concerned with eating.
Thank You Lord that we are still given the opportunity to listen to You. Oh no it isn’t because You are still here on earth. We have Your scripture. It is our gift to be able to read about Your life and listen to Your Holy Spirit speak to our hearts. When we sit quietly at Your feet and listen we hear Your still small voice within. Oh how blessed we are Lord. Thank You. Thank You Lord.
