Open your eyes

Jesus is teaching 5000 plus people. It hits dinner time and there is not food near by but 5 loaves and three fish. Jesus feeds all of the people with that little amount of food.

A little while later Jesus is teaching 4000 people. They are without food as well. Jesus takes 7 loaves and some fish and he feeds the people with that. Before Jesus feeds the people. He asks his disciples to feed the people. They say how are we supposed to do that. They had forgotten what Jesus had done with the 5000 people.

Jesus and his disciples are in a boat a while later. The bible does not say how long is between these stories. If there is any indication I am not sure of it. Well his disciples start to fight because they are in the middle of a big lake. They are sailing to the other side. They know they are going to be on the boat for a long time. They are fighting because they didn't pack enough food. Jesus hears them arguing and asks them if they have learned anything from their time with him. Here he feeds 9000 people with very little food and they are worried about having enough food.

How many times do you and I learn something that God is trying to teach us and forget what we learned the next chance we have to show that we learned from our lack of faith. If I was Jesus I would be hitting these guys in the back of the head. I would ask them to open their eyes. It is just interesting that these guys who walked with Jesus struggled with the same things we do. We just do not pay enough attention to how God is working. We look through our earthly eyes in stead of looking through our God given eyes. He is at work always!!!

I just found this interesting.
