Matthew 16:7 “They began to discuss this among themselves, saying, “’He said that because we did not bring any bread.’”

How many times do your children have to be told and shown how to do something like clean their rooms? Every day you show them how to make that bed. Every day, or ten times a day, you tell them to pick up their toys. Will they ever get it? Will they ever learn?

Jesus probably felt the same way right here. The disciples had just seen Him feed over 5000 people and then over 4000 people, and they still were thinking He was worried about bread to eat. He probably was thinking, “Will they ever get it?”

Well, of course, the one advantage He had over you is He was (and still is) God. He knew what His disciples were thinking. He also knew that they would get it. They, in fact, those 11 faithful disciples, would change the world.

Your children can too. We can’t see the future. But we know the One Who can. He knows exactly what your children will become. Ask Him! Pray to the Father that He will guide you as you guide them. Let Him give you a glimpse into their future. They are in His hands.
