“I have
compassion on the multitude, because they have now continued with Me three days
and have nothing to eat. . . Then His disciples answered Him, “How can one
satisfy these people with bread here in the wilderness?” (Mark 8:2-4)
How amazing
it is that you can come upon a familiar verse or story that you've heard many
times before and yet in that moment He comes and takes you deeper and deeper
into His presence.
I must
confess that at times I’m somewhat critical of the disciples for their lack of
faith. They had the benefit of living with Jesus and seeing the miracles firsthand. But then I, who have the benefit of the cross
and His Spirit within me, also struggle with faith even knowing all that He has
done for me. How fortunate that He is
ever patient and faithful, even when I am faithlessly forgetful . Perhaps too, I just need to focus on His
faithfulness rather than my short-term memory in faith.
