Chapter 6, Verses 1-14 |
|
| 1 After these
things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias. |
| 2 And a great
multitude followed him, because they saw his miracles which he did on them that were
diseased. |
| 3 And Jesus went
up into a mountain, and there he sat with his disciples. |
| 4 And the
passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh. |
| 5 When Jesus then
lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat? |
| 6 And this he
said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do. |
| 7 Philip answered
him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them
may take a little. |
| 8 One of his
disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, saith unto him, |
| 9 There is a lad
here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so
many? |
| 10 And Jesus
said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the
place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand. |
| 11 And Jesus took
the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the
disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would. |
| 12 When they were
filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that
remain, that nothing be lost. |
| 13 Therefore they
gathered them together, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five
barley loaves, which remained over and above unto them that had eaten. |
| 14 Then those
men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth that prophet
that should come into the world. |
|
| Nothing is ever lacking in the
spirit of thankfulness. Thank God for what you have, and ask for what you think that you
would like to have. See not yourself in lack, and doubt not that God can give you what you
have requested. Leave all to God and in His hands. Do not reason with yourself and try to
figure out how God will bring to pass your innermost desires; just know that He will bring
them to pass if you trust in Him, and are thankful for what you have now. A thankful heart
leaves the wrath and unrighteousness of the world behind, and brings not on itself the
condemnation that it seeks by believing in the imagining of the mind of ego and lack. A
thankful heart trusts in the Father for all things, and knows that the Father brings to
the hearts of His children the desires and growth that He has next for them. Your Father will multiply the good from a thankful,
trusting heart and mind far beyond what you can ever see or ask. Relax and leave all in
the hands of the Father, and life will flow in the spirit of love, abundance, and peace
for ever. Amen. |
