HAVE YOU ANY FOOD?
This question was posted to the Apostles, after Jesus was crucified and risen and the disciples went on their fishing expedition but caught nothing.
Then Jesus said to them, “Children, do you have any food?” They answered him, “No”. -John 21:5.
The Lord is concerned about our needs. During His earthly days, He fed multitudes on two grand occasions (Matt. 14:13–21; 15:32–38). Now that He has died, is risen, and is in His glorified body, He still thinks of His people's hunger. He still calls, ―Children, have you any food? (John 21:5).
Finding they have nothing, He says, ―Come and eat breakfast (John 21:12). These words fall graciously from His lips and prove His care for our earthly needs.
Our Lord and Savior is particularly mindful of the needs of His people. If you are needy and in difficult circumstances, be encouraged. He that said to His disciples, ―Come and eat breakfast, will not forget you in your time of need.
On your part, this is the time to exercise faith. On His part, now is the time for the display of His power.
If you look to friends, they may fail to help. So-called friends are far too ready to give the cold shoulder to those who are not well-to-do. But if you look to Him, your prayers will be answered, in some way or other, the Lord will provide. I cannot tell how, any more than I can tell how the Lord lighted that fire of coals or procured the fish that lay broiling on the fire, but there was the fire and there was the fish (John 21:9). The Lord provided. ―
*Trust in the LORD, and do good; dwell in the land, and *feed on His faithfulness. *Delight yourself also in the LORD, and He shall give you the desires of your heart (Ps. 37:3–4)
He that taught you to say, ―Give us this day our daily bread (Matt. 6:11), did not teach an empty phrase. If your needs are so pressing as to make you hunger, Jesus loves and pities you.
Look to Him for help. He is the same today as He was by the lake of Galilee. Keep your faith on Him as He is more than able.
