Jesus said, (to his disciples) “They need not go away; you give them something to eat.” Matthew 14:16
Lord, there was a great big group of people gathered that You were healing and the disciples wanted to send them back to their homes before it got to late in the evening. You say ‘no, don’t send them home’….You tell your disciples to feed them. Lord they had already told You there was nothing for them to eat. As we read on we will see this is the story of the 5 loaves and 2 fish. What an exciting event this turned out to be.
Lord we have just read the story of what happened to John the Baptist. Now we are reading about this large group that has gather and You are healing the sick. Now You want the disciples to feed them.
Who can know the mind of the Lord….. We sure can’t…. BUT…. we know that Your promises tell us that – ‘ALL things work together for good when we love You.’ What a promise. What a gift. We are in Your hands and we thank You.
Thank You Lord.
