All In Package

The WORD today (See http://usccb.org/bible/readings/120314.cfm) reminds me that God knows all our needs

Jesus walked by the Sea of Galilee,
went up on the mountain, and sat down there.
Great crowds came to him,
having with them the lame, the blind, the deformed, the mute,
and many others.
They placed them at his feet, and he cured them.
…..

“My heart is moved with pity for the crowd,
for they have been with me now for three days
and have nothing to eat.
I do not want to send them away hungry,
for fear they may collapse on the way.”
…..

They all ate and were satisfied.
They picked up the fragments left over–seven baskets full

In the gospel, we see how great and powerful Jesus is. We see how loving he is. He is thinking not only of our souls, but our bodies as well.

Healing all who came to him shows how powerful Jesus is. His healing hand is for all. But he did not stop there. He was not contented showing God’s power by healing people. He also know they have worldly concerns – food. He knows they need food as well, so he gave them food.

God gives us all in package – filling our heavenly and earthly needs.

We should be reminded that God knows and will continue to take care of our worldly concerns as well. He is not just concerned about our souls. He knows our worldly concerns and will provide for them also.

Jesus hears the prayers of our hearts. They may be simple or complicated. They may be spiritual in nature, or worldly concerns. God knows it, and he knows the perfect time to provide for these things.

May we find comfort in the fact that our God knows all our concerns and will provide for all.

Father God,

Thank you for today. Thank you for another day to live. Thank you for being a complete provider. Thank you for thinking and providing for not only my spiritual needs and concerns, but also of the worldly. I pray that I may always trust in your wisdom, your love, and your timing as you provide for me. Amen.

Blessed day!

In Christ,
