September 19th, 2011 by Pastor SolleyJohn 6:1-6 After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias. 2 And a great multitude followed him, because they saw his miracles which he did on them that were diseased. 3 And Jesus went up into a mountain, and there he sat with his disciples. 4 And the passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh. 5 When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat? 6 And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do.
Do you know that Jesus always knows what He will do? Many times the Christians acts like he or she believes God doesn’t know what He is doing. We fret and fuss over things, we worry and ponder, we come to our wits end trying to find an answer to some circumstance, some problem in our lives. All the while we forget that Jesus knows what He is going to do. Jesus gave Philip a problem to solve. How to feed 5,000 men plus their wives and children. Philip could not find the solution but Jesus knew what He would do. It is no different for us today as we face the problems of life whatever they may be. Physical or financial need, health problems, even death, Jesus has the answer. Jesus always knows what He will do. The question becomes; are we willing to trust in His care? Are we willing to turn our lives, our problems, our future over to Him and trust in what He will do? Most of the time the answer is no until we do arrive at our wits end. Wouldn’t it be better to trust in Him first? Jesus always knows what He will do.
