He taught them many things

"When he disembarked and saw the vast crowd, his heart was moved with pity for them, for they were like sheep without a shepherd; and he began to teach them many things."  (Mark 6: 34)

Lord Jesus, you satisfied the hearts of those who seek to listen to your word by teaching them many things.  After teaching them many things, you fed them with bread and fish and they ate and were satisfied.  Grant me a compassionate heart for all those you appoint me to minister to.  May I remember from this event that nourishment for the body should not be neglected when teaching the word is the primary event.
