Day 290: Matthew 14, Mark 6 and Luke 9

Today on Meditating the Word: John the Baptizer Beheaded, Jesus Feeds the Five Thousand, Jesus Walks on the Water, Jesus Sends out the Twelve, Jesus Predicts His Death, the Transfiguration.

This is Day 290. We are reading Matthew 14, Mark 6 and Luke 9

Father God, the compassion of Jesus is hard for us to comprehend. When his cousin, John the Baptizer was killed, he longed to go off by himself to speak with You. I think we sometimes forget that he walked this earth as a human, with the same emotions we have. His sorrow must have been great. Yet, when the multitudes followed him, we are told he had compassion on them. He taught them, and healed the sick among them until it was late. Then, when his disciples would have turned the people away, Jesus insisted they be fed. Again we see that You are able to use what we have. You are the God of multiplication! With only 5 loaves and 2 fish, the multitude of 5,000 men plus women and children were fed -- with 12 baskets full of leftovers!! Help us to have the compassion of Jesus and to trust that You are able to make whatever we have enough. Amen
