Day 9

John 6:5-6 “When Jesus looked up and saw a great crowd coming toward him, he said to Philip, ‘Where shall we buy bread for these people to eat?’”

What struck me: I love what Jesus was doing here! He knew full well what He was going to do! He wasn't really asking the question because He didn't know. He was going to feed the 5000 with a miracle. So then why ask the question? I believe it was because He was testing the faith of His disciples. He was putting them in a situation that was impossible for them to fix on their own. They needed Jesus. They would have to rely on Him.

Spacepets:
Attitude to change: God will put me in situations where I am facing problems beyond my ability to handle it on my own. I know He will do this not to hurt me, but to help me keep relying on Him. Am I in a situation like that today? Will I trust Him?

Truth to believe: God is always trying to move us back to that original order where we are relying on Him. Not so that we will be hurt, but so that we will experience His supernatural power. Faith is the key to experiencing God in life!
