Today’s Thought “When You Pray, Move Your Feet!” G. Ward

John 6:  ⁹ “There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish; but what are these for so many people?” ¹⁰ Jesus said, “Have the people recline to eat.” Now there was plenty of grass in the place. So, the men reclined, about five thousand in number.

 

Our Lord’s quest in earth, set the example in belief that inextricably includes works (*not attaining salvation work, but compassion that sees and fulfills the need – Eph.2:8-10). Moreover, it teaches every follower how compassion embodies (*indiscriminately) - feeling the pain of another, but can be marginalized by inactivity (Jas.2:17-19). The miracle HE’D soon impose on a people wasn’t showy (e.g., not proposing a book deal thereafter), but would affirm HIS Father’s greater attribute of compassion at its highest, along with confirming HIM as the Long-Awaited Hope (*Matt.1:20-23).

We don’t have long to prove HIM as the Only Sufficient One, but many times are taught from the crowd’s desperation to be fed and forget, than intentionally building another (*Phil.2:3-4).
