Matthew 15:36
Some have surmised that, since Jesus sent the disciples to feed the multiplied bread to the multitude, the people did not actually realize that a miracle occurred. However, this is extremely unlikely. Given the amount of food involved, the most casual observer among the people would have at least guessed that something strange was going on. As to the reason for having the disciples help, the answer is quite simple. Though Jesus could have thrown the food into the sky and let it rain down on everyone, this would not have served his purpose. He used the disciples to illustrate the fact that the food spread much like the gospel spreads. all blessings in this age originate with Christ. He is the source, and his servants take it from there.
Bible Reading: Psalm 119:86-176
Scripture Memory: 1 John 4:3 “And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.”
Prayer: Heavenly Father, You are quite amazing. That You take the time to know us is a great glory to You. Sometimes the most wonderfully crafted items are small, and seemingly insignificant. Such is the case with us. We are nothing compared to You, and yet You put so much into us. You are good. All that we have to be thankful for comes from You. May we ever live to sing Your praise. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
Prayer Requests: Pray for a little boy who is sick. Pray for many who are under the weather at this time.
