This is going to be a place where I process my Bible reading.
Welcome to my Bible reading journey. I find that I process information better when I write/respond to it. This blog is simply a place where I can write down my thoughts about God's word. If you are reading I hope you get something out of it. Feel free to comment your take on the verses. Enjoy!

Today's verses come from John 6:1-16

In today's verses Jesus went to the sea of Galilee. At this point people had heard about His miracles, so a multitude of people followed Him around. He went up into a mountain and was sitting with His disciples. After awhile He asked His disciples to buy some food so everyone could eat. The disciples told Him that they didn't have enough money to buy food for everyone. Andrew mentioned a kid had 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish. Jesus told the to have everyone sit down (5,000 men not including women and children). Jesus gave thanks for the food and then gave it back to the disciples to distribute. Once everyone was full He told the disciples to collect leftovers (which there were). The people were amazed and called Jesus a true prophet. Jesus then made a hasty escape because the people wanted to make Him a king.

This is a very well known story. It is recorded in all the gospels. One thing that stuck out with me today is the fact that Jesus took the food and gave thanks. Now let's face it, the disciples were probably looking at the offerings and thinking what is this. It is not the finest of meals and it is no where near enough to feed all these people. But even though they had a little, Jesus gave thanks for the little He had. And I believe because of that, a little was turned into a lot.
