JESUS IS MY SUFFICIENCY AND MY STRENGTH

Today’s Reading:

Mathew 15: 32-39

“Then Jesus called his disciples unto him, and said, I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days, and have nothing to eat: and I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way” (v. 32 KJV)

 


In the verses under reference, Jesus felt deep sympathy for the crowd He was ministering to. He went beyond simply healing their diseases to meeting their needs of hunger as well. This shows our Lord as a tender shepherd who cares for the weak and helpless members of His flock. It is our Lord’s desire for us to depend on Him alone – content with His provision; relying solely on Him and His sure sufficiency.


Being content with His provision for us will keep us from being plagued with fear and anxiety which is so prevalent today. Jesus is the lover of our souls and desires our focus to remain upon Him. Christ takes the meager portion of food that was available, blesses it and satisfies all. There is always enough mercy and grace with Christ. We are never at a loss in our Master’s company.


We should always remember our past experiences with Him in order to Keep us from becoming doubting Thomases.
