"Now the Passover, a feast of the Jews, was near. Then Jesus lifted up His eyes, and seeing a great multitude coming toward Him, He said to Phillip,'Where shall we buy bread, that these may eat?' But this He said to test him, for He Himself knew what He would do." ~John 6:4-6~
Isn't it just like Jesus to ask us a loaded question that He already knows the answer to. He tests us, to see if our focus is on the natural or the supernatural. Verse 7: "Phillip answered Him, 'Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may have a little". How often I'm like Phillip. I'm focused on the magnitude of the need, and how insufficient the supply. I look and think this is too much to expect, too big to be conquered. Yet we read in verses 8-14 that Jesus does the supernatural. He feeds 5000 men with 5 barley loaves and 2 small fish. And He does it with 12 baskets of left overs to spare! Friend, how big is the need in your life? Is it financial? Do you need physical healing? Does your mind beg freedom from depression & anxiety? Are you so emotionally broken hearted, you can't imagine life ever being normal again? Jesus is...Jesus sees your need. He is asking you to focus on the supernatural. He is here. He is able....HE is all sufficient. Believe Him to work that miracle.
