Read Mark 6:30-44
Rock star popularity now characterized the Jesus movement. Even his apostles were feeling the pull and demands of the crowd. Trying to get a little time alone, they travelled by boat to a different lakeshore, but the throngs of people found them anyway. This could have been very frustrating, but Jesus responded with compassion.
He took time to see the crowd and teach them. And when it was late and time to eat, he found a way to feed everyone fish and bread (even a basketful for each disciple). Miraculous yes, but simply another reminder for the followers of Jesus that God provides. Most everyone there (thousands) had no idea what happened. They simply ate and were satisfied. Jesus was teaching by firsthand experience. Don’t worry about food. In fact, just don’t worry.
Have you been carrying around a load of worry and care? Is there a need for God’s provision? Go to your Heavenly and ask. He loves to prove his love and faithfulness. In fact every time you have something to put in your mouth to eat, don’t miss the miracle. God just took care of you again. Give thanks.
