Would you look at these guys! (Matthew 16:5-23) The disciples are sitting in another boat all frustrated (probably blaming somebody) because they forgot to bring the bread. And their worry about their stomachs causes them to misunderstand Jesus' important reminder to watch out for the hypocritical teaching of the religious leaders.
So, as the bread discussion continues, Jesus sounds amazed at their little faith. What's with worrying about enough bread when He had just fed five thousand plus with five loaves and four thousand plus with seven loaves. "And how many basketfuls did you gather?" He asks about the leftovers.
I'm wondering what truth or opportunity do we miss when we get to worrying about having enough - be it food, money, ability etc. Has not God provided over and over again in wonderful ways? Let's give all these cares to Him (I Peter 5:7) and focus on the rich opportunities at hand.
