Jesus wants us to trust that He will give us everything we need, even if it seems like only a miracle will work. The great news is that Jesus can still perform miracles today to meet our needs, just as He did many times in Mark Chapter 8!
Mark writes that Jesus saw that the crowd following Him was hungry, and He did not want them to go without food. Jesus saw their need, and to take care of their need, He performed a miracle. Not only was there enough food, but there was extra food left over just from the little bit of food they started with! This is just one example of how Jesus wants us to know how much He loves us and how we can trust Him to provide for us!
How do you serve the people around you? Do you help your parents around the house or serve classmates by helping them when they are struggling? How can you serve the people around you this week?
Prayer: Dear Lord Jesus, I thank You for teaching me how to live. Thank You for reminding me that You love me and that I need to have faith in You. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
