Mission Impossible

But he answered, “You give them something to eat.” (Mk 6:37)

Jesus knew the disciples had no food to feed 5000 people. He also knew what he was going to do. Still he commanded the disciples to feed the people. God will sometimes tell us to do seemingly impossible things, and we must not think that we misheard him. Instead, we must realize that it is an invitation to participate in a miracle! It is time to step out in faith and begin such preparations as we are able, bringing what we have to bear on the problem and trusting God to multiply our efforts. We can expect that he will usually give us our detailed instructions one step at a time.
