Close or Closed? Mark 8:4

Good morning everyone!  God is good all the time, all the time God is good. TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!
   So, what is happening in your world?  Caught up in the hum drum daily routine?  Need something different?  Just think about when the disciples were with Jesus, it was always something new, yet it wasn't.  Now that sounds like a statement from someone who does not know what he is talking about does it not?  lol
    Well, yesterday we visited about Jesus having spent 3 days with a great multitude of people and was now concerned about feeding them.  Look at Mark 8:4 ⁴ His disciples answered, “But where in this remote place can anyone get enough bread to feed them?”  What? Jesus' disciples did ask this question.
   You would think that the disciples, having been with Jesus, seen Jesus do so many miracles, would not be asking where can we get food out here.   Was there learning curve really slow, they seem to have to be spoon feed each time.  They had already witnessed Jesus feeding over 5,000 with 5 loaves and 2 fish, yet they doubted.  Can you say DUH?
   Sometimes we are slow to catch on.  Why is it we can see where Jesus has brought us from, what He has done for us and many others in the past, then we don't believe that He will do it in the future?  I believe this has to do with 'close' or 'closed' in our lives.  What do you mean by that? If our life, if our heart is CLOSED we will not be able to take in or comprehend what God does for us.  However, if our heart is CLOSE to God, then we will understand, remember what God has done for us, and have faith He will do it again, and again, and again.   What condition is your heart in?  Closed or Close?  Love you all.
    In Christ's Love and Grace
