Matt. 16:7-8
"And they began discussing it among themselves, saying, "we brought no bread". But Jesus, aware of this, said, "O ye of little faith."
What is amazing about this text is that
The disciples had just seen Jesus break the loaves and fish and feed 5,000!! How quickly they forgot!
Just this week, I've allowed myself to worry about some upcoming things and have just had to kick myself. How quickly the enemy can draw me away and cloud my memory. How quickly I forget that He who began a good work in me will be faithful to complete it. How quickly I forget that the God who owns the cattle on a 1,000 hills has sustained us through difficult times, illness, and need for these past 8 months. Shame on me and God forgive me!
Then I remember: This is why I need a fresh touch from Him EVERY day. This is why I need to dig in His Word and get on my knees and beg for His touch... Beg for His Spirit to fill me afresh each day.
Why??? It's because I forgot.
When I take my eyes off of Him, I forget!
We forget!
The disciples forgot!
May we seek His face before we face any other today!
