—Mark 8:11-21

How often have you thought God was speaking into your life about one thing, only to learn that he was saying something altogether different? The disciples didn't read between the lines of Jesus' statement; they were associating his words with an immediate circumstance instead of with a much more important issue. The hand of God in our lives often helps us to see the heart of God for our lives. If the disciples had remembered the recent miracles with bread, they would have realized that Jesus wasn't concerned with real bread, but, as the passage relates, with something more important. Allow God's hand to prepare you for hearing his heart.
