Sometimes seemingly hopeless circumstances are the PERFECT circumstances for Jesus to reveal Himself as our miraculous Provider…and sometimes? We just might have a part to play!
Matthew writes about this scenario in chapter 14 👉🏽 after a LONG day of miraculous healings, the disciples remind Jesus that they are in a remote place & that it’s getting late. There are close to 15,000 people present so they tell Jesus to, “send the crowds to the local villages to buy food for themselves.”
I find it fascinating that these first-hand, eye-witnesses to His miracle working power resort so quickly back to logic! (I confess that I can SO relate!😬)
Jesus’s response, however, kicked that logic to Kingdom come when He simply replied,
“That isn’t necessary - you feed them.”
Mt. 14:16
I can only begin to imagine their replies…
”Wait, what? You want US to feed over 15,000 people? How? With what are we supposed to feed them???”
Y’all, there is SO much to unpack in this passage, but a take away question for today is this:
❓What has God given you in private SO THAT YOU may provide for others in public?
The only way we can show up filled up is to spend time with the One who is our Bread of Life, the One Who longs to spend FaceTime with us morning by morning so He may give us an well-instructed tongue to fill & sustain the weary.
He promises to reveal great & hidden things you do not know, so that you can show up filled up with the Truth of His Word, ready to feed the spiritually hungry people you encounter each day!
🙏🏽 Holy Spirit, lead our spirits to make time in The Word of God a priority, so that our words might match His & become like manna to whomever we speak.🤩
