Bread, Again

Matthew 16:5 - And when the disciples reached the other side, they had forgotten to bring bread.

This is an odd detail and a telling one. First, Jesus has just fed 5,000 people with a few loaves of bread and some fish. Why would they worry or even think about bread? They have seen this great miracle and it has not changed them in any way.

It seems we are often like the disciples! Thinking that all the decisions are up to us and forgetting to leave room for our God to act. We want to fix everything in our lives that causes us discomfort whether we are able to do so or not. We forget that sometimes, we need to let God take over. Jesus just fed 5,000 people and the disciples are now worried that they forgot bread. How often do I/we make this same error? How much am I willing to let God take care of today?
