John 6:1-13 (NIV)
1Some time after this, Jesus crossed to
the far shore of the Sea of Galilee (that
is, the Sea of Tiberias), 2and a great
crowd of people followed him because
they saw the miraculous signs he had
performed on the sick. 3Then Jesus
went up on a mountainside and sat
down with his disciples. 4The Jewish
Passover Feast was near. 5When Jesus
looked up and saw a great crowd
coming toward him, he said to Philip,
"Where shall we buy bread for these
people to eat?" 6He asked this only to
test him, for he already had in mind what
he was going to do. 7Philip answered
him, "Eight months' wages would not
buy enough bread for each one to have
a bite!" 8Another of his disciples,
Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, spoke
up, 9"Here is a boy with five small barley
loaves and two small fish, but how far
will they go among so many?" 10Jesus
said, "Have the people sit down." There
was plenty of grass in that place, and
the men sat down, about five thousand
of them. 11Jesus then took the loaves,
gave thanks, and distributed to those
who were seated as much as they
wanted. He did the same with the fish.
12When they had all had enough to eat,
he said to his disciples, "Gather the
pieces that are left over. Let nothing be
wasted." 13So they gathered them and
filled twelve baskets with the pieces of
the five barley loaves left over by those
who had eaten.
Key thought
God is for us, with us and already knows what He wants to do in our
lives and in the situations we face.
A. Jesus invites us to live our lives from His point
of view
· The disciples saw from the viewpoint of scarcity and lack.
To the disciples, they did not have the resources to feed such
a big crowd.
· Jesus saw from the viewpoint of surplus and leftovers.
Jesus knew that God was going to work a miracle and that
there would be more than enough food for everyone there.

Are you facing problems that seem impossible to be solved, or
having needs too great to be met? Jeremiah 32:17 says that
nothing is too difficult for God. Know that God cares and is
there for you in your time of need.
B. Jesus already knows what He wants to do
· The disciples were caught by surprise when Jesus asked them
to buy bread for the crowd of people. However, Jesus already
had in mind what He was going to do (John 6:6)

What worries and uncertainties are you facing about the
future? Jeremiah 29:11-13 says that God already knows what
He wants to do for you. He has the perfect plan that He wants
to work in your life. All we need to do is to listen to Him and do
what He says.

My action point:
Lord, I acknowledge Your presence in my life.
Help me to obey You and trust You to fulfil
Your purposes for my life.
