John 6:1-7 w/ Jennifer Slattery - Crosswalk PLUS Video Devotional for November 22, 2024

Today's verse is John 6:1-7 with Jennifer Slattery.

Some time after this, Jesus crossed to the far shore of the Sea of Galilee (that is, the Sea of Tiberias), and a great crowd of people followed him because they saw the signs he had performed by healing the sick. Then Jesus went up on a mountainside and sat down with his disciples. The Jewish Passover Festival was near. When Jesus looked up and saw a great crowd coming toward him, he said to Philip, “Where shall we buy bread for these people to eat?” He asked this only to test him, for he already had in mind what he was going to do. Philip answered him, “It would take more than half a year’s wages to buy enough bread for each one to have a bite!”

"When a crisis hits, we can fixate on our limitations... but today's passage reminds us instead to focus on God. Remember that He is our provider of everything we need; He is always with us and already knows the solution to our problems before we're even aware that a problem exists."
