Lesson 2441

(Lesson 2441)(08-21-18) Mark 8:14-21
     “Now the disciples had forgotten to take bread, neither had they in the ship with them more than one loaf. And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod. And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have no bread. And when Jesus knew it, he saith unto them, Why reason ye, because ye have no bread? perceive ye not yet, neither understand? have ye your heart yet hardened? Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember? When I brake the five loaves among five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? They say unto him, Twelve. And when the seven among four thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? And they said, Seven. And he said unto them, How is it that ye do not understand?”

   Today’s quote demonstrates how Jesus showed frustration because His apostles had not yet recognized that He was the Son of God and could, and would, deliver their needs at all times andd under any circumstance.
    Many of today’s “Christians” demonstrate that same lack of faith when the pray for the same result over and over again. They seem to forget that God is omnipotent and will not forget that a prayer has been made; And, if the answer to that prayer is within His will He will fulfill it. There is never a need to pray to God for the same thing twice unless one truly believes that God is capable of fotgetting.~
