“But He answered them, “You give them something to eat!” And they said to Him, “Shall we go and spend two hundred denarii on bread and give them something to eat?” (Mark 6:37)
Sometimes what the Lord asks of us seems so outrageous. We think of earthly things and count the cost, figuring we cannot afford it. Jesus, the One through whom all things have come to be, is able to do all things. It is not just food for the belly that Jesus has come to give, but food for the soul which nourishes us and prepares us for life everlasting. If the Lord asks for you to do something, He will provide what is needful.
Lord, You know where I do not fully believe and think only in worldly terms. You know the places where I try to figure things out on my own and do not do what You would have me do. Help my unbelief and guide me in the way You know I need to go. Help me to not act on what I see, but upon what You tell me. Lead me into all righteousness for Your sake and learn how to step out in the faith You have given me.
Lord Jesus, You have become the living bread for our sake. There is more than enough, for You have provided what money cannot buy. Lead me in the way You would have me go and help me to believe in You when You ask me to do something. Help me through my doubts in order that I may learn to obey all that You command. You have told me to go. Guide me to go where You send me. Amen.
