Mark 8:17-21 “And Jesus, aware of this, said to them, “Why are you discussing the fact that you have no bread? Do you not yet perceive or understand? Are your hearts hardened? Having eyes do you not see, and having ears do you not hear? And do you not remember? When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?” They said to him, “Twelve.” “And the seven for the four thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?” And they said to him, “Seven.” And he said to them, “Do you not yet understand?”
It wasn’t that the disciples forgot, they just couldn’t see the connection between those miracles and their current situation. They didn’t understand that the creator and sustainer of all things - The bread of life - was still right there with them.
Lord, open my eyes to see beyond this current situation, beyond these anxieties, and see the vast bounty of Your generous provision - far more than I could ever ask or imagine. Help me to have ears to hear and a mind that remembers. Give me the wisdom to understand.
“Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.” Eph 3:20-21
