"Obedience"
(Having Faith In The Lord)


39 Then Jesus directed them to have all the people sit down in groups on the green grass. 40 So they sat down in groups of hundreds and fifties. 41 Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to his disciples to distribute to the people. He also divided the two fish among them all. 42 They all ate and were satisfied, 43 and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces of bread and fish. 44 The number of the men who had eaten was five thousand. (Mark 6:39-44)


It was obvious to all of the disciples that they did not have enough food to feed the thousands who were there that day. But they obeyed Jesus, and did as they were instructed to do by the Lord. We need to behave in the same manner. Sometimes we can see what a situation is, but with Jesus, we need to undersdtand that being obedient is more important that what we can see. A situation in Jesus' eyes is much different than what we are able to see.


I will remember this story for the obedience and the faith shown by the disciples. I will remember to apply these priciples in my daily walk with the Lord. First, be close enough to be his disciple. Second, listen and hear the Lord. Third, obey and have faith in Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ will be able to work miracles. I must and will believe and have faith in him.


Thank you god for all of your blessings. Thank you Lord for my deliverance. Continue working in me so that I may be overflowing in with Holy Spirit. Continue opening my eyes and allowing my ears to hear your voice.
