Another Feast!
I don't understand. Matthew 14 records Jesus miraculously feeding 5,000 men, plus women and children. The disciples even cleaned up afterward. And now, just one chapter later, they are doubting that Jesus can feed less people with more food to start with. Why aren't they jumping up and down in excitement? Why are they proud to Jesus their Master do this again? How come they aren't encouraging Jesus to do it? They know He can. I don't get it.
But maybe I'm the same way. I have seen God work in my life. I have seen the changes that result in my professional life, in my marriage and in my relationship with my kids when I allow Jesus to work His stuff. Yet, so often I forget what He has done and soon I either doubt Him or keep the reigns for myself. Maybe I should understand completely why the disciples aren't getting it at all. Because, so often, I don't get it.
