The Gospel of MarkSample

Verses 33 through 44 are Mark's testimony of the famous feeding of the 5,000. Like a good rabbi, Jesus provides space for His disciples to do as much as they can to solve the problem on their own. But Jesus’ approach to the problem of the hungry crowd reveals a vital reminder of who God really is and what He asks of us. Jesus asks the question, “What do you have?”

In the same way, God never asks for perfection in our relationship with Him. He only asks that we bring Him what we do have, and trust that He has already provided what we need to live for Him.

What can you surrender to God today, believing that He will provide more than you need?
