You Can't Live On Mircles

"And He commanded to give her meat. "Jesus had just preformed a miracle by raising Jairus' daughter from the dead. Immediately thereafter, He charged them to give her something to eat. I searched seven different commentaries for comments on our text, but only two make a brief mention of it. One spiritualized it, applying it to salvation, being raised from from sin and death and feeding on the Word. The second took it literally, saying Jesus was showing her parents she was healthy and completely recovered. If I may, I'd like to add my two-cents, as they say.

I think Jesus was possibly showing us, after He preforms a miracle in our lives we're not to attempt to live on it indefinitely. We are to use everyday means after the miraculous event. That is, after the supernatural has occurred, the natural is to follow. We're to go on with our lives, most certainly with thanksgiving and rejoicing, but living as humans among the sons of men. Just because God does great and mighty things on our behalf, doesn't mean we are great and mighty. Such Divine blessings are not geared to make us strut to God's Throne, but crawl in gratitude to the Mercy Seat of God.

Miracles are the exception in our lives, not the rule. The rule is simply doing our "daily duties," as the priests of the Old Testament.
