Follow His Directions

John 6

1 After this, Jesus crossed over to the far side of the Sea of Galilee, also known as the Sea of Tiberias. 2 A huge crowd kept following him wherever he went, because they saw his miraculous signs as he healed the sick. 3 Then Jesus climbed a hill and sat down with his disciples around him. 4 (It was nearly time for the Jewish Passover celebration.) 5 Jesus soon saw a huge crowd of people coming to look for him. Turning to Philip, he asked, “Where can we buy bread to feed all these people?” 6 He was testing Philip, for he already knew what he was going to do.

Jesus often may ask of His followers something that seems impossible. Yet, Jesus knows what He is going to do, even if we don’t have a clue what we are to do. It truly is as simple as following His command; or following His lead. Of course, we cannot do the impossible, but Jesus can. After all, He saved us from our sins! When we have a clear direction from the Lord, even if it seems impossible, it is our duty to follow that direction. I love the fact that even though the disciples had no clue as to how the crowd would be fed, they had enough faith in Jesus to do what He said to do. They found someone with a little bit of food, they sat the people in groups like Jesus said, and they served the food that Jesus provided. Following the directions of Jesus seems to me to ALWAYS be the way to go. Know what I mean?
