Friends,
Why do you suppose folks are surprised by what happens to God's children? When the believer retains his faith through good times and bad. When one of Christ's followers obeys Him, steps out in faith, and discovers a remarkable life.
Why do you suppose believers are surprised by these same events?
Then He went up into the boat to them, and the wind ceased. And they were greatly amazed in themselves beyond measure, and marveled. For they had not understood about the loaves, because their heart was hardened.
Mark 6:51-52 [NKJV]
In this episode, we find Jesus' twelve disciples "greatly amazed" when the presence of Jesus brings all the winds and storms and tumult to rest. Why? Because their "heart was hardened". Their collective belief was not yet ready to accept that Jesus truly is who says He is.... that He is actually capable of doing all things... that He truly is God Incarnate.
Sisters and brothers, are you struggling with this level of faith today? Do you still have those times of doubt as to whether God will come through like He promises?
Seek the understanding He gives in His word. The message in the loaves is that He is Lord over all things. He makes the impossible possible.
Be encouraged, Jose
