Mark 8:14-21
Jesus had just fed the 5000 men and also another 4000. He had healed many and yet the Pharisees asked for a sign from heaven. Even His own disciples who were witness to all that He had done were being “dull” – seeing but without understanding what was happening around them. When He warned them about the “yeast of the Pharisees”, they thought he was referring to the fact that they had only one loaf of bread amongst them. And Jesus, in exasperation, said: Do you not see or understand? Are your hearts hardened? Do you have eyes but fail to see, and ears but fail to hear?
How many times have we been like the disciples? He has manifest His power and grace in our lives so many times in the past, and we are witnesses to the fulfilment of His promises. Despite all these, we sigh in despair and worry. We are afraid.
Lord, make me SEE with my eyes and HEAR with my ears. Soften my HEART; make me understand that You alone are God. You are in control and in You alone I rest.
