Mark 6:52 for they did not understand about the loaves, but their hearts were hardened.
This verse seems terribly out of place. I sat and stared at it for a while and had no idea what to do with it? Then it struck me. Yes, it is out of place! They just witnessed Jesus walking on the water and they were still hung up on the loaves. I think that the hardness of our hearts prevents us from being in the moment, from seeing what is actually going on. Our unwillingness to believe causes us to be distracted and to create our own reality to some degree to either ignore, deny, or rationalize what we are unwilling to accept. We spend our effort in this and we miss the obvious.
Father, help me by your holy Spirit to see the obvious, to be in the moment, and to not have a hard heart towards the wonders of your grace.
Amen
