When we give thanks we unlock God’s supply. Jesus himself gave thanks for the food when he fed the five thousand to show us this.

Sitting

In John 6:3 Jesus sat with his disciples to teach them and he is about to feed them with the bread of life. We do get indigestion if we eat standing up don’t we 🤓. It’s a good picture of how to rest in Jesus. Mary sat at Jesus feet is the application of resting and feeding on Jesus.

Passover

It is the time of the Passover at the time of the feeding of the 5,000. Passover is the picture of the source of the bread of life – Jesus our Passover lamb on whom we now feed.

Looking

• Philip looked at the vastness of the need.
• Andrew looked at the scarcity of supply
• Both should be looking at Jesus the source of vast…

Lots of people come here looking for this, so I might as well oblige.

Luke 12:32-40

32“Do not be afraid, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom. 33Sell your possessions, and give alms. Make purses for yourselves that do not wear out, an unfailing treasure in heaven, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys. 34For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. 35“Be dressed for action and have your lamps lit; 36be like those who are waiting for their master to return from the wedding banquet, so that they may open the door for him as soon as he comes and knocks. 37Blessed are those slaves whom the master finds alert when he comes; truly I tell you, he will fasten his belt and have them sit down to eat, and he will come and serve them. 38If he comes during the middle of the night, or near dawn, and finds them…

Proverbs 28 New International Version (NIV)

28.1

28 The wicked flee though no one pursues,
but the righteous are as bold as a lion.

² When a country is rebellious, it has many rulers,
but a ruler with discernment and knowledge maintains order.

³ A ruler^[a] who oppresses the poor
is like a driving rain that leaves no crops.

28.3

⁴ Those who forsake instruction praise the wicked,
but those who heed it resist them.

⁵ Evildoers do not understand what is right,
but those who seek the Lord understand it fully.

⁶ Better the poor whose walk is blameless
than the rich whose ways are perverse.

⁷ A discerning son heeds instruction,
but a companion of gluttons disgraces his father.

28.5

⁸ Whoever increases wealth by taking interest or profit from the poor
amasses it for another, who will be kind to the poor.

⁹ If anyone turns a deaf…

“He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?”

Can one walk with God? The Bible teaches we can! Micah was one of many who did. He was a prophet to the people of Judah during a time of great wickedness and social injustice. There were false prophets, cruel leaders, violence and corruption. The priests, who were supposed to represent God in the temple and teach people the Word, were greedy and evil. The poor and widows were being taken advantage of and judges took bribes. Businessmen were dishonest in their business dealings and cheated people. It was very similar to our world today. To bring hope, Micah promises a Divine Deliverer, the Messiah, who would rescue the godly from oppression and establish righteousness in the land.
