This morning I read John 6:1-14. It is the story of Jesus being followed by a very large crowd around a meal time. The scriptures say that there were 5,000 men which means there we somewhere in the ball park of 15,000 people when you count women and children.
In John 6:5, I was challenged by what Jesus said to Philip, “Where can we buy bread to feed all these people?” John writes in verse 6 that Jesus was testing Philip because He already knew how He was going to handle it. When faced with problems of any size who do we turn to? Do we expect for God to be able to come through and feed these 15,000 people with 5 loaves and 2 fish? How is my faith that God will work out the problems that I face in my life?
