How?

Mark 8:4, And his disciples answered him, “How can one feed these people with bread here in this desolate place?”

Before when the five thousand were fed, they sarcastically asked if they should spend their inheritance to go and buy bread for everyone. Now, they know better and simply ask “How.” How often do we think that we are being practical when we really should be open to the idea that God has a better way? Am I willing to lay aside my own practical solutions to see how he will be pleased to provide?

Let me lay aside my own practical solutions and ask you “How?”
