“I have compassion for these people; they have already been with me three days and have nothing to eat.” Mark 8:2
Meditation:
Jesus was so concerned about the wellbeing of the people who had been with him for three days. He thought of them before He thought of His own wellbeing. He did not want to send them away without feeding them because he worried that they would collapse along the way.
Please bear in mind that there were over four thousand people who had followed Jesus for three days. To feed them, He would have needed large amounts of food. But that did not bother Him. When the disciples expressed their exasperation at the thought of trying to supply such a large crowd with food, Jesus was not concerned. He simply asked the disciples about the number of loaves of bread they had.
There were only seven loaves of bread and a few small fish. Jesus did not throw his hands up in the air and declare that all hope was lost. He simply took the loaves of bread and the fish, gave thanks, broke them and instructed the disciples to share them among the people. Everyone ate until they were satisfied. They didn't just eat enough to get them going. They ate until they were content, and there were seven basketfuls of leftovers. It is accounts like these that should give you comfort and know that with God, everything is always settled. When you find yourself without options in a situation, take heart and know that God is with you.
Nothing is impossible for God, Absolutely nothing!!!
Prayer:
Our Father in Heaven thank you, for taking good care of us. Every day help us to Remember; you are with us and With you all things are possible!!!
In our blessed Savior Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen!
