From the 500 guests to the 5000 men, …

I thank God for being patient with me. As I was preparing to teach about prayer, many things happened, and it sit back and ponder. He is not God in history, or of history, or out of history….but He is a present God. He who presented Himself to Abraham, Moses, Peter, also the same God who now presents Himself to me. As it’s written, “I am who I am”. He was, is, and is to come, God.

In the midst of all the constraints i’m facing, i can give thanks because only in this circumstances I could see … things otherwise I could never see. The story of Jesus feeding the 5000 with 2 fishes and 5 loaves of bread….is it too hard for Him to provide for my 500 guests? He even provided meat and bread for one nation of 3 million Jews! I could share the feeling of Philip maybe, how to feed these people….we don’t have money. Yet Jesus knows what he’s to do. It is 8 month salaries to feed these crowd….yet He had already the answer. Again on the bread and butter issue, Jesus was the man who resists the temptation…he’d rather starve in hunger than fulfilled his own desire transforming stone to bread. At the end, man’s life is not in abundance of his possession, nor in physical food he eats, but life in the feeding of God’s Word….which transcend understanding.

I could say at the end, from the 500 guests to the 5000 men, He knows what He is doing. God is great.
