—Matthew 14:13-21
by: Lisa Moore.
Anyone involved in ministry knows that ministry demands can be exhausting, leaving little time for family, friends, meditation and reflection, and even physical rest. Jesus wanted some “alone time,” but the people desperately followed Him. Jesus’ reaction upon seeing the large crowd certainly was not what ours might have been under the same circumstances. He cared for them, healed them, and instructed His disciples to help feed them. I get weary and move away from “the crowd” to recharge every so often. Thank God, Jesus is still the same, showing compassion and meeting me at the point of my need. Hallelujah!
