Bread in the Deserted Place
“In those days, when there was a very great multitude, and they had nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples to himself, and said to them, “I have compassion on the multitude, because they have stayed with me now three days, and have nothing to eat. If I send them away fasting to their home, they will faint on the way, for some of them have come a long way.” His disciples answered him, “From where could one satisfy these people with bread here in a deserted place?” He asked them, “How many loaves do you have?” They said, “Seven.” He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground, and he took the seven loaves. Having given thanks, he broke them, and gave them to his disciples to serve, and they served the multitude. They had a few small fish. Having blessed them, he said to serve these also. They ate, and were filled. They took up seven baskets of broken pieces that were left over. Those who had eaten were about four thousand. Then he sent them away.” (Mark 8:1-9 WEB)
Jesus had compassion on those who followed Him and were hungry. They were in a deserted place.
Many believers are experiencing lack in this season. Some are losing their jobs, others are losing their businesses, seeing a decline in income, and economic prospects seem bleak. You could say it is like looking for food in a deserted place.
Abba God whose heart is compassionate just as Jesus is, wants you to be well-supplied.
He can feed you with more than enough bread, even in the deserted place. Nothing is impossible for God.
When His supply comes, it is not going to be a trickle. It will be more than you need!
Have a good opinion of your Heavenly Father. He is not trying to teach you a lesson by making you starve. He is the one who has compassion on the hungry.
Jesus multiplying the loaves and fishes is a miracle that appears in all four gospels. God knows that we tend to worry about provision, and He wants us to believe that He will surely supply our needs, no matter how huge the demands upon us seem to be. God will still make a way for us.
Go ahead and thank Him for multiplying your provision. In His perfect timing, you will surely see His goodness in the land of the living!
