For Thursday, January 25, 2024:
Mark 8:2 NLT, Jesus speaking: “I feel sorry for these people. They have been here with me for three days, and they have nothing left to eat.”
Today Jesus is going to feed 4,000 men and their families, much as he previously fed the crowd of 5,000. This time the disciples gave up seven loaves of their own bread. Jesus multiplied the resource which he could do, and put the disciples in charge of distribution which they could do. When the disciples saw what Jesus did with the bread, they gave up a few fish as well. This wasn’t a “grab-&-go” lunch. Jesus had everyone sit down, and they were served a full meal. The multitude ate as much as they wanted, and the disciples gathered up seven large baskets of leftovers. After feeding 4,000 men and their families, the Jesus team had more food than when they started! Miracle complete.
Our God has thousands of cattle on thousands of hills. Surely he can and will provide the resources we need to be his hands and feet here on earth!
