Women of the Word

“Meanwhile, the disciples were in trouble far away from land, for a strong wind had risen, and they were fighting heavy waves.” Matthew 14:24 NLT

“Late that night, the disciples were in their boat in the middle of the lake, and Jesus was alone on land. He saw that they were in serious trouble, rowing hard and struggling against the wind and waves.” Mark 6:47-48a NLT

“After sending them home, he went up into the hills by himself to pray. Night fell while he was there alone.” Matthew 14:23 NLT

“Immediately Jesus made His disciples get into the boat and go before Him to the other side, while He sent the multitudes away.” Matthew 14:22 NKJV

“Immediately He made His disciples get into the boat and go before Him to the other side, to Bethsaida, while He sent the multitude away.” Mark 6:45 NKJV

“Immediately after this, Jesus insisted that his disciples get back into the boat and cross to the other side of the lake, while he sent the people home.” Matthew 14:22 NLT

“They all ate as much as they wanted, and afterward, the disciples picked up twelve baskets of leftovers. About 5,000 men were fed that day, in addition to all the women and children!” Matthew 14:20-21 NLT

Do we help others from our own experiences, or do we look to Jesus and ask Him to provide the Daily Bread they need?

Please take the time to read both Matthew 14:22-36 and Mark 6:45-56 as a foundation for this devotional.
