There were times in Jesus’ ministry when He called the disciples “ye of little faith.” That may appear to be a little rough, but, in our terminology, one could hardly blame Him. In this case Jesus and the disciples had 4000+ people travelling with Him and listening to His teachings. After three days Jesus took pity on them and decided to feed them. When He told His disciples they asked Him, “Where are we going to get the food to feed all these people?” Why is this a bad question? Because just a short time before they had watched Jesus use just a few loves and fishes to feed an even bigger crowd! How could they watch Him do it once, be involved in the serving, watching the food last and last, and still wonder where the food came from?
Now, before we get too harsh with them lets think about ourselves instead of them. How often do we doubt God’s ability to do something for us? How often have we watched God meet a need and the next time a need arises we wonder how God is going to do it this time? Far too often we ask our own version of, “where will we get the food?” even after we have seen Him provide.
How strong is our own faith?
