John 6:6
He Himself knew what He would do.
Jesus did not always perform miracles.
He did not always feed the people miraculously.
He accepted money from His friends to purchase bread. And He permitted His disciples to go and buy bread, even though they had a long way to go.
However, if need was present, Jesus did perform miracles, and did so willingly and gladly.
But even in need and distress Jesus desires to show us how helpless we are before He will intervene.
It was for this reason that He asked the disciples to find a way to feed the five thousand.
Not until they were agreed that such a thing was impossible out there in the wilderness did Jesus interpose His miracle.
Misfortune came to you one day. And Jesus asked you, as He did His disciples, what you would do now.
You thought and thought, night and day. But one thing seemed as impossible as another. Perhaps you have not found a way out yet.
Listen now: Jesus Himself knew what He would do also for you. He knew it before you suffered your misfortune. As a matter of fact, it was He who sent it. But He did not do so before He had thought of what He would do to help and bless you.
He waits now only for you to tell Him that you do not know what to do. Then He will perform the miracle that is needed, now as before. He will open a way for you in your temporal affairs. In spiritual things He will bless you with enlightened eyes, that you may see His goodness and greatness.
Yes, look at Him, how He stands there, calm and confident in the midst of His bewildered disciples.
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD
