God was with the Israelites and fed twice daily as they wandered 40 days in the desert. When they tried to save the food, they found that it was ruined. What a big lesson in trusting that the next meal would be provided. You d think that the 3 generations that lived that way would have surely learned to trust in God s ways Jesus is trying to teach the disciples that they need to understand that faith enables God to work in a person s life that would defy ordinary human experience. A little bit of faith goes a long way in the human realm.
Faith is a dynamic process.
Faith is not just a matter of our own strength or will. Faith is a gift from God that we cannot earn. Faith is trusting that God will work within us and through us as God is willing. What God does with us and through us will not always be consistent with our wants, or on our schedule. As people of faith we must wait and listen for God s leading.
