There is a strange story in Matthew 8 that makes Jesus seem like He is losing patience with His disciples. They were travelling in the boat again and forgot to pack food. Jesus began to warn them about the dangers of listening to Herod and the Pharisees, but all the men could focus on was the forgotten bread. Then Jesus said this.
“When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?” They said to him, “Twelve.” “And the seven for the four thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?” And they said to him, “Seven.” And he said to them, “Do you not yet understand?” - Mark 8:19-21, ESV.
Food is temporary, and Jesus' warnings/lessons are lifelong. They missed an important lesson, longing for something to eat.
Such is the case for us. Disciples today still get so caught up in the heat of the moment, the stressful situation, the stage of life that they miss the bigger lesson. Today, don’t allow your situation to cause you to miss out on a lesson from the Lord that will help you tomorrow.
Listen to the Lord now. He will feed you later. - Pastor Mike
