Numbers 33 and 34, Luke 9: 10-27, Psalm 50: 1-15
Luke 9: 16-17 (ESV)
“And taking the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up
to heaven and said a blessing over them. Then he broke the loaves and gave them
to the disciples to set before the crowd. And they all ate and were satisfied.
And what was left over was picked up, twelve baskets of broken pieces.”
Verses 16 and 17 from Luke 9 comes from the famous story of
Jesus feeding the 5000 with only fives loaves and two fish. I heard a commentary
today which I found very moving. Back in the time of Christ, the people who came
to listen to him did not indulge in food like they do in our time. People in
those times rarely ever ate until they were satisfied. People ate food but most
likely just enough to calm the hunger inside of them. Jesus really loved people
and if he was going to feed them food, he was going to give them enough until
they were full and satisfied. Jesus shows that God will always give us enough
of what we need, and we will always be satisfied. God will not give us less
than we need or just enough of what we need. God will give us what we want
until we are satisfied, because that is how much God loves his people.
