He Supplies
“Jesus called his disciples unto Him, and saith unto them, I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now been with Me three days, and have nothing to eat: And if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they will faint by the way: for divers of them came from far” (Mark 8:1-3).
What an example these people are to us! They so hungered after the words of eternal life that they followed Jesus into the wilderness without taking enough physical food for the journey. Some were so hungry after three days that they would not have made it home if they didn’t have a meal before they left. But Jesus does not forsake or disappoint those who cast themselves on Him. They had put their lives into the hands of Jesus and it was in those hands that the He took the loaves and the fishes, blessed them, and they were multiplied.
Jesus will not let us down either. It there is a real desire and hunger for Himself, He will provide for our needs, both spiritually and physically as well. “My God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:19).
