What category do you fit into? The glass half full or half empty? You've heard this over and over but I want you today to apply it to God.
Here's what got me thinking about this; verses 2-4 start the process. Jesus is remarking about how unfortunate it is that the people who have come to hear him are so far from any market where they could get some food and it is too bad because some live a great distance and they might "collapse" on the way.
Now, it appears that Jesus is making some sort of suggestion to the disciple that they ought to help these people. But check out the response from the disciples...immediately they proclaim, "But where in this remote place can anyone get enough bread to feed them?" Notice that they jump right to the reason why they can't possibly provide all these people with food.
Now, go down to verse 21 where Jesus says "do you still not understand?"
Let me just throw one other verse at you this morning, I know it's early and this may be too much thinking for you... Matthew 19:26, Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."
So, when you look around at life, especially where Christ's church is concerned remember how Christ fed the 5,000 (+women and children) and then the 4,000 (+women and children) and His statement "do you still not understand?" We may be tempted to look at the negative but when we see the impossible, God has already worked out the solution. You see, when God is involved things are always possible.
Have a day filled with possibilities!
Thoughts on the Bible, Church, life and living it to its full potential in Jesus Christ!

in light of certian circumstances, you made a lot of sense. thanks for being such a good friend.
If you think about it , we don't go outside our comfort zone much. Like you said Corey, God already has the ending spelled out ,so we need to step outside the box and test the waters sometimes and God will deliver . We need to trust in Him and see where He takes us. There is a big world of hungry people out there who need to hear the word of God . It is our job and (opportunity)to get it to them . So has the old saying "Let go and let God" says ,maybe we need to try this a little more frequently and maybe our eyes will open to more of Gods grace and understanding. Hump day and I made it over so keep it coming Lord and show the opportunities as they come to us to share Your gift to the world . It only takes one at a time. Amen P.S.I can't figure out my password so this is Jack
