He Must Be Up To Something
Sammy Burgess
John 6:6
Introduction:
Have you ever tried to figure out what God was doing in your life? There are times in our lives that we don't know what God is really up to. Here in our text we find an interesting verse of Scripture. {6:6}- "for He Himself knew what He would do"
Example: This thought hit me some time ago as I was leaving the hospital. I had just prayed with a family that needed God to do something special in their lives. When I finished praying, God gave me "perfect peace" about the situation. As soon as I finished my prayer, God the Holy Spirit spoke to my heart in a still small voice as if to say; "I already know what is going to happen".
I told the man (a deacon) that was with me, 'God is up to something; I don't know exactly what it is, but God is doing something; God is up to something in this situation'. God had put us in a position that we had nothing else to do but turn to Him and to trust Him.
(Note)> In this familiar story that we have before us, I believe long before Jesus ever fed the 5,000; long before Jesus ever took that lunch from the young lad; long before panic set in with the disciples, Jesus already knew what He was going to do. {6:6}- "for He Himself knew what He would do"
You see, before Jesus ever performed this Miracle with His hands - He had already performed this Miracle in His heart. To put it in our terms - OUR LORD WAS UP TO SOMETHING!!
I admit that I have preached this Miracle time and time again. Every time I look at this one Miracle (that is found in all 4 Gospels) I am still amazed at what Jesus did. I am glad that not only did Jesus do the right thing, He already knew what He was going to do even before the people ever had their need. (This is a reminder that nothing catches our Lord off guard.)
I am still convinced that our Lord is still able to do the Supernatural. I am still convinced that there is nothing my Lord cannot do.
