Mark 6:30-44 ~ The Compassion on the Five Thousand

Listen Now:

Excerpt:

We come to Him on the basis of not trying to solve the problem but how to serve Him in it. Lord, how do You want it done? The Lord gives to those of His disciples, His disciples go and take it and serve the crowds. They do not solve the problem. It is not from their resources. They are servers.

Again, the basic principles. The Lord will create circumstances that are beyond our control and authority so that He can reveal Himself to us and show us what the proper response is. The proper response is, "Lord, I acknowledge that this is of You. You have created this circumstance for a reason and for a purpose. It is beyond my understanding and You want me to trust You with all my heart and not to lean on my own understanding."

The ministry and the authority comes from Jesus Christ, not from me. I am just a server.
