While reading the story of Jesus feeding the five thousand, the one thing that kept popping up in my head was...
TRUST.
I feel like we are so easy to just give up when we do not see the Lord’s work done immediately. Trusting in the Lord and having faith that He will provide for you in any situation is something that is really hard to wrestle with Him about, but that is the way it is supposed to be. Our times of doubt and discouragement, help our relationship with the Lord grow stronger and deeper when we actively SEEK GUIDANCE FROM HIM. He is our provider, our comfort, and our fortress. He is looking over us and that is more than enough. He is enough!

Thank you, Sarah. Being great listeners and digesting the feast in it is not a strong quality for most of us ! Great thoughts for us to feast upon!
That is so true, Sarah! It reminds me of the Israelites that lost their faith over and over again - even when God had shown His power and provided for them over and over again. Thank you for sharing!
