Bread in the Wilderness...

Enough.jpg

It doesn’t matter where we are in life or what is taking place. Jesus is always enough.

"Then His disciples answered Him, "How can one satisfy these people with bread here in the wilderness?"
Mark 8:4

Jesus was ministering to the multitudes. The huddled masses, yearning to be free, healed, and saved where growing in numbers as the Spirit led Jesus to be about His Father’s business. Now, they were all in the wilderness without a McDonald’s in sight, if you get my drift.

Yet, where Jesus is, there is always enough. He met them there in their hunger, blood, sweat, tears, darkness, longings, and failings. He met their need and then there were leftovers, a surplus, so much plenty. Yes, abundance.

This is what He longs to do in each of our lives, but like the multitudes, we need to stop and sit awhile in His presence, just as Jesus told them to do, listen closely for His instruction, and then give thanks, just as He did.

He will always lavishly give us bread in our every wilderness season when all our options seem distant and it will always be more than we could ever expect. More than enough to satisfy our every longing and every need.
