Scripture Readings: Jeremiah 13.1-11 and John 6.1-15
Both of these readings talk of God’s power but more
appropriately God’s involvement in our lives.
In Jeremiah, God is admonishing the Israelites for their turning from
Him. He says, “I will be involved—I will
send fishers and hunters—I will know what you are doing.”
In John, the miracle of the loaves and fishes is once
again God involved with the people. He
is among us—not hidden in some far off place.
And the lesson to me is “No matter where I go—no matter what
difficulties I face—no matter the pressures of life— God’s promise is—I am with
you.” That is the comfort of our
faith.
