Five Thousand, Fed

Matthew 14:13-21

Ok, I'm having trouble with this blogger thing. Everytime I submit or try to change anything, it keeps erasing my entry. And it sucks because I have autosave on and it keeps saving my erased entry. I tried control z and it's not working. This is annoying me. So I'm going to save this right now and if you read this and this blog isn't complete, that's because I'm saving and publishing as I go.

I'm having a rough day and a rough week. Really bad. I don't know what it is but it's driving me nuts. It also does not help that this blogger thing is erasing every entry I put in. I wrote an entry this morning that was very very long. All gone. Tried again an hour ago. Erased again. This is driving me up the wall. So sorry if this entry seems rather poor.

Again my week has been rough. It started off really busy then I started not understanding things, I started falling behind, I started pulling all nighters trying to understand stuff, and yea. Not a good week. I'm actually not even happy that it's over because I know I have a lot of catch-up work to do right now. *sigh*

I just came back from Small Group and honestly I'm really tired from it. It's been really hard today for some reason. Maybe it's my attitude coming into the Bible Study? I don't know it was just really frustrating this entire day. I need to put an end to this day. Forgive me for sounding angry. But I am. :(

Jesus Feeds The Five Thousand
Reading: http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=matthew%2014:13-21;&version=31;

This reading is very popular but that doesn't mean we need to go deeply into it. It's the story of how Jesus used loaves of bread and fish and turned it into enough food to feed five thousand people.

The reading starts off from last time, when John the Baptist was beheaded. Having heard this Jesus sought after a quiet place. Now that's really cool. Not cool because John died, but because Jesus shows that He actually cares for us. Not many other religions can say the same thing. Jesus shows that He is mourning in a sense and really prays for John. Knowing this I feel a little more comfortable because I know Jesus has my back. Thanks Jesus.

The people in the towns decided to follow Jesus all the way. Seeing that they had faith and wanted to follow Him, Jesus healed the sick. Then it got very late and the disciples worried for the crowd. He told Jesus to send them back to their towns so they can get something to eat. However, Jesus told them to have the people stay. They found among them five loaves of bread and two fish. Jesus said it was sufficient and distributed the loaves of bread. The entire crowd, five thousand people, was fed.

Now how does this work? I have no idea. But that's not important. The important thing is to note that Jesus can work with anything, no matter how small. So we may feel insignificant or useless, but believe it or not, Jesus has a use for us. All of us. Remember that nothing is impossible with Jesus.
