Living on Mission – Wait, Who’s Moving Where?

Living on Mission – Wait, Who’s Moving Where?

“That evening the disciples came to him and said, ‘This is a remote place, and it’s already getting late. Send the crowds away so they can go to the villages and buy food for themselves.’ But Jesus said, ‘That isn’t necessary—you feed them.’” (Matthew 14:15,16)

Hey Jesus, it’s been a long day. We should get these folks moving so they can get some food and get settled for the night. It was perfectly logical. Compassionate even. But Jesus had something else in mind. He didn’t want the crowd to move away to another place in order to get their needs met. He wanted the disciples to move to where the crowd was so He could meet their needs right there.

Hmmm… I wonder if He still works like this today?

Has He sent you? Yes

Can you meet the needs of the people He sent you to? Nope

Can He meet the needs of the people He sent you to? Yes

Will you stay close enough to Him to hear His voice leading and directing you? Yes!

Let’s practice Living on Mission and being prepared to move in ways we never expected.
