How Many?
"I divided five loaves of bread for 5,000 people. Remember
how many baskets you filled with pieces of food that were not
eaten?" The followers answered, "We filled twelve baskets."
"And remember that I divided seven loaves of bread for 4,000
people. Remember how many baskets you filled with pieces of
food that were not eaten?" The followers answered, "We filled
seven baskets." Then Jesus said to them, "{You remember these
things I did,} but you still don't understand?"
-- Mark 8:19-21 (ERV)
KEY THOUGHT:
Jesus is trying to help his closest followers remember with the eyes of
faith. This means more than merely recalling what has occurred; they
must recall what the events had meant based upon their faith in Jesus
and their past experiences with the power of God. Lest we are tempted
to look down on them for their forgetfulness, let's remember all the
times and ways that God has blessed, rescued and provided for us. Let's
also remember how often that we find ourselves worrying about our
future and wondering if God is going to help us!
TODAY'S PRAYER:
Heavenly Father, I'm so very sorry for the many times that I've failed
to remember your tremendous care, provision, rescue, comfort, and
protection. Use your Holy Spirit to help me remember through the eyes
of faith and to take comfort in your constant presence and care in my
life. In Jesus' name. Amen'
