Open Your Eyes!
The followers had only one loaf of bread with them in the
boat. They forgot to bring more bread. Jesus warned them, "Be
careful! Guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and the
yeast of Herod." The followers discussed the meaning of this.
They said, "He said this because we have no bread." Jesus
knew that the followers were talking about this. So Jesus
asked them, "Why are you talking about having no bread? You
still don't see or understand? Are you not able to
understand? Do you have eyes that can't see? Do you have ears
that can't hear? Remember what I did before, when we did not
have enough bread?"
-- Mark 8:14-18 (ERV)
KEY THOUGHT:
Worry is a sign we've forgotten the great blessings and providence of
God in our past. That is why the praise we offer to God for what he has
done for us is so important. Praise is a time when we rehearse and
remember the great things God has done and remember the great God he
has been in the past and has promised to be in our future. It helps us
acknowledge that God is and was and will be the great provider and
Shepherd for his sheep.
TODAY'S PRAYER:
O LORD God, you are my Great Shepherd. I recognize that every good
thing I have comes from you. Forgive me for the times in the past when
I have doubted your active providence in my life and worried about your
sustaining grace for the future. I know that you can bless, support and
sustain. Thank you. In Jesus' name. Amen.
