Read Mark 5

Head & Heart

Mark 6 teaches us more stories about how amazing Jesus is! He continued teaching people about God, healed the sick, and even walked on water! People were amazed wherever He went, and many wanted to hear what He had to say. One night, as Jesus was teaching a large crowd of 5,000 people, He instructed the disciples to feed the crowd. The disciples were confused because the only food that they had was five loaves of bread and two fish. The disciples did not think that a small amount of food would be enough to feed a crowd of 5,000. Jesus thanked God for the food and split up the bread and the fish, giving them to the disciples to pass out to the people. Guess what? There was enough food for everyone to eat and be satisfied, and there were even leftovers! There was more than enough. Just like the bread and the fish, Jesus is more than enough for us. Just like the crowd, we can be fed by God. He knows what we need, when we need it, and how much we need.

How do you think the disciples were feeling when they realized the small amount of food that they had? How do you think you would have reacted in that situation?

In John 6:35, Jesus says, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.” Think about that verse and the story from today. Jesus is our Ultimate Provider, and He wants us to come to Him. Pray and thank Jesus for being your Provider of all things.

Prayer: God, I love You! Thank You for knowing exactly what I need! Help me to share Your love with everyone around me. Amen.
