And Jesus said, Make the men sit down. ...So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.” (John 6: 10). That is the Focal Scripture of Streams of Joy Devotional today. Before Jesus fed the multitude, He instructed them to sit down. The miracle was yet to happen, Divine provision was yet to be made manifest, something special and supernatural was about to happen, and Jesus instructed the men to sit down. Sitting is a position of relaxation. So, Jesus asked the men to relax. They were not to relax after the feast; they needed to relax before the miracle; they needed to relax before divine intervention. Friend, God says, RELAX. Your miracles and breakthroughs may not have happened, the favours you desire may not have been granted, your prayers may not have been answered, your next level may be far from where you are now, your promotion may not be within sights, your marriage may be on the brink of collapse, you may be in dire need of divine intervention, but God says, RELAX. Jesus already knew what to do about the hungry multitude, and there was no need for them to be worked up. God already knows what to do about your circumstances, and you have no need to lose sleep. God is already in charge of everything around you, and you have no need to fear or doubt. Those men sat down, and they were fed. They relaxed and God met their needs. As you relax, God will meet your needs, your fears and troubles will fizzle out, your travails will turn to triumph, your losses will turn to gain, your lack will turn to abundance, and you will attract Divine attention and intervention. If you fail to relax, you might drain yourself of the energy you need to enjoy God’s package for you. Just relax: God is in charge! In John 14 vs. 1, Jesus says: “Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.” Pray With Me: Lord, I choose to relax; You are in charge, in Jesus’ name!
