John 6:7

Praise the lord today's Bible  verse is from John 6 verse 7 Philip answered him 200 denari worth of bread is not sufficient for them that every one of them may have a little.

Denaris denoted a Roman silver coin equivalent to a labor's average daily wage. So Philip answered Jesus eight months wages would not buy enough food for each each one to have a bite. Notice that Jesus asked where shall we buy food? and Philip really does not answer Jesus that question. 
Philip responded with what he perceived was a greater, far greater problem than they were and that was, with what were is the money going to come from for the large crowd? Philip looked at the problem in terms of meeting the minimum requirement, even a little from each man is impossible, but Jesus wanted to give them in appendance with 12 baskets left over. Philip thought that the answer was money. 
Philip sees only the situation, not the possible solution who was Jesus.

 The apostle's concern once again exhibited the lack of of faith. They did not remember the miracles Jesus had  done. 
The disciples had just returned from a mission trip where they themselves had did many miracles. They were standing before the one who created the heavens and the earth. They forgot how Jesus changed six big jars of water into wine. 
Leave Jesus  out of your calculation, and you will come up short every time. So first step is not to measure our resources, but to determine God's will and trust Him to meet your need. 

When we are faced with a serious sickness, what do we do first? We find out the best doctor, or do we trust in Jesus and go to Him in prayer.

Long back when my daughter was not married for a long time. 
We did all we can do to get a proposal for her, but it did not come. Then it came a time when my daughter said I am going to take my name out of all the marriage websites and look unto God and immediately the right proposal came and the wedding took place.

 What is your situation today? 
What are you facing today? Let us look to God in prayer.

Prayer

Our heavenly Father, I thank you for this day. 
Thank you for teaching us, Lord, this great lesson to have faith more than looking into our situation. Lord, we commit our situations, problems, difficulties into your hands.. We praise you, we thank you. 
We surrender ourselves to you. In Jesus name, I pray. Amen. 
God bless you.

English John 4:5

Praise the Lord. Today's verse is from John 4 5. As he came to the town of Samaria. Called psychar near the field that Jacob had given to his son, Joseph. Hallelujah. In this verse, we see that John the author of this book, had an accurate knowledge of the land of Israel, And also he knew the history of that land. In Genesis 33 19. We see that when Jacob came back to the land of Israel from the house of Leban his father in law, he brought This place For a hundred pieces of silver. It was called the city of Sheikhim.  Jacob says he had given Joseph one portion above his brother. In Genesis 50:25. Then Joseph took an oath from the children of Israel saying, God will surely visit you, and you shall carry up my bones from here. We see the hope and the confidence Joseph had that Israel People will go back to their land which happened through the hand of Moses. Joseph knew the promise that God had made to Abraham to Isaac and to his father, Jacob, Concerning the land of Canon...

John 4:1,2

Praise the Lord. Today's verse is from John 4th chapter and verses one and two. We are studying from the fourth chapter of John from today. Now when Jesus learned that the Pharisees have heard that Jesus was baptizing more disciples than John, although Jesus himself did not baptize but only his disciples. In this verse we again see about baptism Jesus and his disciples along with John was baptizing in the same place. It is not written whether Jesus and his disciples followed the baptism of John. We do not know. The difference between John's baptism and the Christian baptism is given clearly in the Bible. In Acts 19:3,4, we read " 'Unto what where you baptized?' And they said 'unto John's baptism' . Then Paul said, 'John verily, baptized with the baptism of repentance saying unto the people they that they should believe on Jesus Christ who is to come after him' ". John was preparing a people for Jesus coming. And they repented of...
