“Jesus lifted up His eyes, and seeing a great multitude
coming toward Him, He said to Philip, ‘Where shall we buy
bread,
that these may eat?’ But this He said to test him, for He Himself
knew what He would do.”
JOHN 6:5,6
When
we see a need we grow frustrated. But when Jesus sees a need He already
knows what He wants to do. Not only will He meet the need, but He will
reveal Himself in the
process. Sometimes He will leave the need unmet, at least for a season,
and just reveal Himself to us as All that we need (2 Corinthians
12:8,9).
This
explains why it sometimes appears that the Lord delays in answering us.
He already knows what He is going to do, but we do not know. He waits
for us to see if we will trust Him as Infinite Supply. Is
Jesus “Lord” only after He answers us? Or is Jesus “Lord” whether He
answers us or not? The Lord’s “proving ground” is just there, in between
the Need and the Answer. And sometimes it is, indeed, quite a
stretching, and a thorough test.
