"How many loaves do you have?" he asked.
"Go and see."
When they found out, they said, "Five - and two fish."
Taking the five loaves and the two fish...he gave them to his disciples to distribute to the people. He also divided the two fish among them all.
They all ate and were satisfied...
Mark 6:38, 41-42 NIV
Can you picture what's going on here...the disciples had been so busy that they couldn't stop to eat, were heading with Jesus for a day of rest across the lake, end up with 10,000 people...and now are going around asking "who's got food?"
Tired
Hungry
And they found 5 loaves.
For 10,000 people.
I would've been eating those by now.
Jesus gave them the food and sent them out.
And they gave it away.
And as they gave it away it never ran out.
Mark just says "everyone ate".
How did it work?
Did one loaf become 2?
Was it warm like it had just been baked?
Did it just multiply in their hands?
Did it just seem so natural that Mark just says "everyone ate"?
Somehow.
Everyone was involved, receiving, passing on, watching everyone around them eat as the food just didn't run out.
Bread of life.
Enough for everyone.

Joseph replied..."Dont you see, you planned evil against me but God used those same plans for my good, as you see all around you right now - life for many people..." Genesis 50:19-20 MSG The view from the drone. The different perspective. "God has been at work in my life despite, in fact within the hatred that you had towards me. Even though I couldn't always see it, I kept trusting Him, even when He was silent, when all hope seemed lost... God was at work... Can you see that now?" #faith #faithinthedark

Genesis 15.8-18.ESV But he said O Lord God , how am I to know that I shall possess it? ...When the sun had gone down and it was dark, behold, a smoking fire pot and a flaming torch passed between these pieces. On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram... March 15 was the last day we looked at Abram's story...he was questioning God and this is God's response...sacrifices and smoke and fire and a covenant...a promise... Isn't that what we crave for sometimes? God, if only you'd just show me smoke & fire, a burning bush a sign, miracle, healing...then all my questions would disappear...all my doubts would be gone... 2moro we'll see Abram's response but I think God values our faith in spite of our questions and doubts. That we choose Him anyway #faith

Psalm 42.1-11.nlt As the deer longs for streams of water, so I long for you, O God... I thirst for God, the living God. When can I go and stand before him? O God my rock l cry, Why have you forgotten me? Why must I wander around in grief, oppressed by my enemies? Their taunts break my bones. They scoff, Where is this God of yours? Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again - my Savior and my God! That song "as the deer pants for the water..." seems almost nice, but it's not...it's part of a cry of anguish, of hurt, of despair...of God not giving an answer...yet...through all that...again and again he says I'll put my hope in God! #choose #hope #hopeunshaken
