1. Mark 6:8–9 (ESV)
  2. Exposition

Are there other examples in Scripture where this lesson on total dependency on God’s provision is illustrated?

Mark 6:8–9 (ESV)

8 He charged them to take nothing for their journey except a staff no bread, no bag, no money in their belts

Yes, there are many. Here are two examples:1

  1. Gideon’s troops had been drastically reduced by the Lord before they went into battle (Judges 6:1 – 7:25).

  2. If God provides for the birds of the air and lilies of the field, they must trust Him (Matthew 6:25–34).
