Mark 8 2 “I have compassion on the crowd, because they have been with me now three days and have nothing to eat. 3 And if I send them away hungry to their homes, they will faint on the way. And some of them have come from far away.
There are 12 other places in the gospels that talks of Jesus compassion for people who are hurting and in each one is showing the compassion of the “Father” for all of us. IN Mark 8 He is feeding the 4000 because he is concerned of them passing out on the way home since they have been 3 days without food.
In Luke 10 29 But he, desiring to justify himself, said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?” 30 Jesus replied, “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among robbers, who stripped him and beat him and departed, leaving him half dead. 31 Now by chance a priest was going down that road, and when he saw him he passed by on the other side. 32 So likewise a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. 33 But a Samaritan, as he journeyed, came to where he was, and when he saw him, he had compassion. 34 He went to him and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he set him on his own animal and brought him to an inn and took care of him. 35 And the next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper, saying, ‘Take care of him, and whatever more you spend, I will repay you when I come back.’ 36 Which of these three, do you think, proved to be a neighbor to the man who fell among the robbers?” 37 He said, “The one who showed him mercy.” And Jesus said to him, “You go, and do likewise.”
Jesus is showing the compassion of the “Father’ for the poor and the broken.
Given these examples why do we worry about any type of provision for our lives? Just in the Gospels alone we are shown repeatedly how He will provide for any and all situations that arise in our lives because He has compassion on His creation (US, Humans, You, Me, all of US). There is so much that “Father” wants us to see but we are blinded by what we think is going around us and we worry over these things, instead of concerning ourselves with the things of God. It’s time we all stop worrying over the pettiness of this world and start worrying over the things “Father” wants for our lives. Take the time today to seek Gods throne and what He would have you do for HIM instead of worrying over what you will wear or eat or getting hurt. He has compassion on all of us. Lean on Him and all is possible.
