The crowd had been with Jesus for three days. Perhaps some didn’t pack food, and perhaps some did. But they probably weren’t anticipating to be there for three days. So even the ones who packed food may not have had enougj for three days, especially if they shared with those who had none.

But I’m not bogged down with details. You could really send yourself into a pointless tailspin: where did they sleep? Did they have tents or at least blankets? Where did they go to the bathroom? You could probably get caught up in even more details… but why?

We need to act according to God’s plan in order to feed the people of our world!

I would tend to think just the opposite of your title of today’s reflection.

Read a few more verses down in chapter 8 of Mark (verse 29) and Jesus asks a bombshell of a question, “Who do you say I am?” Stop and think if Jesus didn’t do any miracles. Now answer that question.

Mark

I wondered about the boy being the only one to bring food too. Travelers know to bring food on a journey, but then I thought that maybe it was a spur of the moment thing. No time to pack, hurry up Jesus is here! Let’s see what He has to say. The boy just happened to have a mother who made sure her son had food with him when she sent him out to do his work or go to school. But, what always struck me is the love of Jesus and his provision. He provides.

Don’t wait for a miracle to happen; help make it happen—through faith, prayers, whatever we each can contribute. Let’s not wait to see and then believe; let’s believe and then see (what happens)!
