My heart has been on the multitudes ever since I ministered on Friday.

Somehow, when I read this verse, that word sprung off the page and my heart has been so touched…..

“And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away,” Matthew 14:22, Mark 6:45,

Straightway: We don’t have time to sit back. Our movement must be consistent as we continue to go forward in the things of God.

Constrained: This word is attached to the word above. Because of the time factor Jesus urged them to get in the boat, (urge is light compared to the word “constrained”).

Multitudes: Well many times we want to know why some people are no longer in our lives.

Jesus sent the multitudes away. It was time for them to go to the other side, time to focus on where we are going.

But those whom Jesus sent away, were also a part of those to whom they would minister, in the times to come.

Time to get through the obstacles in the boat, because the multitude is waiting, (break off fear, doubt).

Peter, who stepped out of the boat….. did ultimately minister to the multitude…. see Acts 2:41 Those who embraced the Word were transformed.
