'Astonished Lack of Understanding' - Mark 6:51-52

Then [Jesus] climbed into the boat, and the wind stopped. [The disciples] were totally amazed, for they still didn't understand the significance of the miracle of the loaves. Their hearts were too hard to take it in.

Mark 6:51-52 NLT

Key Thought


The disciples couldn't get it! Maybe they wouldn't get it! Only God could feed a multitude out of such a small collection of bread and fish (Mark 6:35-44). Only God could still a storm and bring the boat to immediate safety at the intended destination (John 6:18-21). Jesus was God with them. Faith in him opened the door to what was not humanly possible. Yet, even with what the disciples saw, they found it hard truly to believe in Jesus as the Son of God. By human standards, he was simply too good to be true!

Today's Prayer


O LORD God, my righteous Father, please help me overcome my pockets of weak faith and my areas of lacking belief. In Jesus' name. Amen.
