Week 33 - The Journey Advent.
"He asked them, "How many loaves do you have? Go and see." And when they had found out they said, "Five loaves and two fish." So he gave orders to have them sit down in groups on the green grass." Mark 6:38-39
The authority of God. Do we hear the voice of God in our lives and do we honor Him by obeying what God asks of us? "He began to teach them many things." Mark 6:34b. A disciple hears God speak and He follows the guidance of God. "Go and see". Jesus as Son of God knew there was loaves amongst the crowd but He needed to teach His Disciples.
Sitting in the crowd of people you can see these events play out. You see Jesus in charge of the situation never skipping a beat and also using every opportunity to teach. God draws those that are ready to Him, He watches each of us in our own journeys and begins the process of teaching us the things that we need to know to become ardent disciples.
Heaven isn't a place you just stroll into, you will, but the process of being purified takes much learning. There are many that will say that they are washed by the blood of the Lamb and then, with intent, repeat the same sin again. If God is teaching and we are obeying these areas of our lives will be purified by the blood of the Lamb not to be repeated.
We are the blessings He brings to our Father in Heaven. "Then, taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he said the blessing, broke the loaves, and gave them to [his] disciples to set before the people; he also divided the two fish among them all." Mark 6:41
What is God saying to me? You have much to learn but you are listening.
Dear Father God, thank You for the blessing of this day, to be taught by You with every situation that comes up. You know exactly what I need and I trust You in all situations. I thank You for the lessons You are teaching others, to face our anxieties and overcome the falsehood of fears that seek to drown out Your voice. Father, You are the Great Teacher, I am but a humble student seeking to follow You Home. In Jesus name, Amen.
Mary, Queen Mother, Pray for us.
