READ: John 6:5-15
And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! for then would I fly away, and be at rest.
Psalm 55:6
The multiplying of bread and fish is such an outstanding miracle that the people wanted to make Jesus a king after He performed this miracle. There is no other miracle where they wanted to make Jesus a king for doing the miracle. What stirred up such power of God?
Jesus stirred up the greatest miracle with the greatest power by asking the people to calm down and sit down. The agitated crowd was forced to sit down, instead of standing up. There are many things God cannot do because you are standing up, agitated, worried and fretting. Today, the word of God to you is clear.
Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
Philippians 4:6
A flustered person who is running around from one emergency to another will not think clearly and will not hear from God. When you wait on God, you need to also make time to calm down until you can receive from the Holy Spirit. Sometimes it takes a number of days to calm down.
I have learnt to give myself time to calm down in the presence of God. Sometimes it will take several days before you are calm enough to hear from God. When the Levites were being separated unto their ministry, they were to stay in the tabernacle for at least seven days (Leviticus 8:33-35). Most ministers cannot be separate and alone with God for seven days. Why seven days? You need seven days because you also need time to calm down in His presence.
