Yesterday, in our passage, Jesus asked his followers to trust him, but warned that it won't always go well. Today, in contrast, he blesses those who chose to trust him. They trusted him and followed him in order to hear his teaching. Jesus blessed them with food for their bellies. I especially appreciate the fact that scripture notes that they were "satisfied". On top of this, there were baskets of food leftover.
Some days are like that... I see blessings at every turn. I am overwhelmed by my Savior's lovingkindness toward me in every area of life. Other days, I fight the urge to kick manure laden dirt in the faces of those who "do not receive" me. Today, I am willfully shaking the dust off my feet and moving on. Perhaps tomorrow will be a feast of bread and fish. :)
