One day a man from Baal-shalishah brought the man of God a sack of fresh grain and twenty loaves of barley bread made from the first grain of his harvest. Elisha said, “Give it to the people so they can eat.”
“What?” his servant exclaimed. “Feed a hundred people with only this?”
But Elisha repeated, “Give it to the people so they can eat, for this is what the Lord says: Everyone will eat, and there will even be some left over!” And when they gave it to the people, there was plenty for all and some left over, just as the Lord had promised. 2 Kings 4:42-44
Enjoying Mark 8:21: How does it test faith? There is a soft presents of God that believes the hopeful promise as Jesus reminds us. Matthew 13:16 “But blessed are your eyes, because they see; and your ears, because they hear. But we still fail to remember what miracles God has accomplished in our near past.
Mark 8:18‘You have eyes—can’t you see? You have ears—can’t you hear?’ Don’t you remember anything at all? Jesus reminds them of 5 loaves and two fish that fed 5000 with 12 baskets leftover. And 7 loaves that fed 4000 with 7 baskets left over. His final question in Mark 8:21 is “Don’t you understand yet?”
Jesus Feeds 5,000+ and Promise we will do more
Discipleship Practice
Remember what God has done. Write down when God answers your prayers.
Protect your thoughts. Do not let wrong ideas about Jesus grow in your mind.
Do not just watch and listen. Say out loud what you believe: “Jesus is the Messiah.”
- Discipleship is active.
- Remember God’s answers.
- Protect your thinking.
