But he answered, “You give them something to eat.” They said to him, “That would take more than half a year’s wages! Are we to go and spend that much on bread and give it to them to eat?” (Mark 6:37).
Jesus was limitless and He could supply the needs of the multitude beyond the physical financial ability of the disciples. God is all sufficient, don’t limit Him to what you see in the physical. The disciples had been with Jesus. They knew Him 24/7. They had seen Him do miracles before. They had seen Him do incredible things. He talked with them, ate with them, and they knew His values. They witnessed the amazing things He did, yet they needed to learn to put their trust in Him. What’s God asking you to give? What’s God asking you to let go?
Are you frightened to put your trust in Jesus wholeheartedly? The disciples told Jesus; the crowd must be hungry. They said Jesus, let them go and find something to eat. Jesus then turned to them and said; you feed them. This seemed impossible. How could they feed them with nothing? This is why there were so many responses from the disciples if you read all four gospels. All their responses summed up to the fact that, they wanted to get rid of the problem by sending them away. But remember; Put your trust in Jesus. He can give extra. “Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us” (Eph. 3:20).
