Matthew 14:15
The time for eating was come and gone. There were no apparent sources of food in this desert place. The disciples did not have enough food to feed so many. Towns where food might be bought were available, but had to be reached by some travel. The disciples had not the money to go and buy for the multitude. It was a bad situation in the minds of the disciples. They were right to be concerned.
However, the disciples followed the common pattern. We see a problem, and we come up with the most likely solution. We do not, however, always consider the possibility of Almighty God changing the circumstances. We do not consider the options that are available to him. Like Jesus’ mother at the wedding feast, the disciples could have been confident that Jesus had a solution to the problem. We should always assume that he knows what needs to be done, and has the power to do it.
