John
6:7 - Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of
bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little.
Jesus
had just finished teaching great multitudes. Hoards had followed Him to hear
Him preach. The listening crowd had not eaten all day. As their spiritual
hunger was being quenched they had forgotten all about their physical hunger. When
the disciples brought Jesus news of this, they began to be worried. Thinking on
the practical side of things, they thought that they did not have near enough
money. They were thinking instead of believing. As they worried the King of
Kings sat next to them ready to work a miracle.
We
may laugh and realize the foolishness of the disciple’s ways. It may seem
obvious to us that the disciples need not worry, but we do the same ourselves.
Christ is with us all the time but we proceed to worry about money and other
things. While we try to think practically and solve problems on our own, the
King of Kings is right there beside us ready to work a miracle. Don’t worry.
Have faith in Christ.
