Matthew 14:13-20
“… They all ate and were satisfied….”
Jesus feeds the crowd he has been teaching. He does this to show them that God, His Father, cares for their needs. He feeds them not only with food, but answers their deeper hunger for a Word of Life.
Do we turn to prayer when we feel that restless ache inside ourselves, that we know is not physical hunger, or do we open the fridge, turn to chocolate, ice cream, junk food or drinking, or some other escape? Often we turn to these things even when we are not hungry because we mistake the needs we have. What we need is the deeper love of God.
Do I turn to God to meet my deepest needs during the day?
