He Lifted His Eyes – Day 14 – Holy Fifty Days 2025

Today’s Gospel: John 6:1–14 (NKJV)

Key Verse: ‘Where shall we buy bread, that these may eat?’ (John 6:5)

Meditation

Christ sees our need and prepares with a Father’s care, even before we speak.
He provides before we ask, and invites us to trust in His unseen, unfailing care—just as He taught us to pray: “Give us this day our daily bread.”

Early Church Fathers’ Saying

“He lifts up His eyes, showing that they who love Him are worthy of the Divine Gaze… He was not unmindful of the multitudes, but well prepared for their food… not even awaiting their asking.”
—St. Cyril of Alexandria, Commentary on John, Book IV

Practical Practice

When you feel worried or unsure, stop and pray:
“Lord, You see me before I speak. Provide what I truly need.”
Like Philip, you may not understand how—but Jesus already knows what He will do.
