Daily Bread
Scripture:
Mark 8:
Meanwhile, the disciples were finding fault with each other because they had forgotten to bring bread. Jesus overheard and said, “Why are you fussing because you forgot bread? Don’t’ you see the point of all of this? Don’t you get it at all? Remember the five loaves I broke for the five thousand? How many baskets of leftovers did you pick up?” They said, “Twelve.”
He said “do you still not get it?”
Observation:
I notice that the disciples did not get it. They seemed to never get it. Not getting it seems to have caused strife. Was the conflict driven by a loss of sight of who they were in the presence of?
Application:
Do I get it? Am I blind to what God is doing? Has sin in my life left me disconnected and unable to see God at work?
Prayer:
God restore my sight to what you are doing. Return me to your presence and fill me with a vision for you Kingdom. Let me not squabble about bread but let be aware of your presence and be about your presence. Cast me not from your presence but wake me up! Let me rest in your doing, let me be still and quite.
