Scripture Union Daily Guide 8th February 2026 — Outline
Notice what the apostles did when they returned from the field in Luke 9:10a. What can we learn from this? Jesus had tried to slip quietly away from the crowd with His disciples after their evangelism possibly to rest a while, but people found out where He was going and followed Him. Instead of showing impatience at this interruption, Jesus welcomed the people and ministered to their needs (Luke 9:10-11). How do you respond to people who interrupt your schedule – consider them as a nuisance or as the reason for your life and ministry?
When the problem of feeding over 5,000 hungry people arose, the disciples felt that the situation was hopeless. Jesus offered a surprising solution by feeding everyone. Do you think God would ask you to do something that you and He together couldn’t handle? Don’t let your lack of resources blind you to God’s power. Why did Jesus bother to feed these people? He could easily have sent them on their way, but He does not ignore our needs. He is concerned about our physical as well as our spiritual needs (Luke 9:16,17).
And So
Our ministry is to the total man; his spirit, soul and body.
