BIBLE STUDY| MIRACLES OF JESUS FOURTH MIRACLE OF JESUS pt.17| THE FEEDING OF 5,000 MEN WITH 5 LOAVES OF BREAD AND 2 FISHES| CHIMDI OHAHUNA. Mark 6:31-34. The journey of faith is often marked by a struggle between our limited human perception and the vastness of God's person and/ presence. We may feel God is passing us by, but the truth is, we are often slow to believe. This slowness stems from a lack of clarity, a blindness and deafness to the Word of God. Enlightened eyes are the key to unlocking the speed of belief. This enlightenment isn't a sudden flash of brilliance, but a gradual process of opening our hearts and minds to the Word of God. This awakening begins by recognizing the interconnectedness of our physical and spiritual selves. Our temperament, attitude, and character profoundly influence our spiritual life. Just as a lazy person might avoid physical exertion, they might also resist the work of spiritual growth. Quick understanding, however, is a gift of inner conviction. When we cultivate a spirit of open-heartedness and genuine curiosity, we become more receptive to the still voice of the Holy Spirit. This receptiveness allows us to grasp the meaning behind God's words with greater clarity. The Bible tells us that God speaks to us, but we must be sensitive to hear. Often, we dismiss God's messages, blinded by doubt and a need for external validation. Rechecking, skepticism, and analyzing God's word are natural steps in our journey, but they should not become roadblocks. Our physical senses, particularly our sight and hearing, were created to connect us with God. Unlike Andrew, the disciple who boldly followed Jesus, many believers hesitate to ask for fear of taking risks.They rely solely on external facts, which are ultimately limited and fallible. True faith, however, is an inner conviction that transcends external validation. It is a journey of the heart, led by the Holy Spirit, inviting us to step out in trust and embrace the unknown. This path of faith is not a passive one. It requires active engagement, a commitment to listening, and a willingness to open our hearts to the mysteries of the Divine. As we cultivate this openness, our eyes will begin to see, our ears will hear, and our hearts will finally believe. Do you struggle to believe what God says?
