Jesus called His disciples to Himself and said, "I have compassion on the multitude because they have now continued with Me three days and have nothing to eat. And I do not want to send them away hungry, lest they faint on the way." Matthew 15:32

Feeding 4000 people was nothing compared to what God did for the children of Israel in the desert. Three million people and their animals were fed and watered every day! This was an incalculable miracle of multiplication!
Since they didn't count women and children there could have been as many as 10,000 people. They only had seven loaves of bread and a few fish, so Jesus blessed them, and the disciples handed them out and the multiplication began! Talk about pressed down, shaken together, and running over, this proved that God will always multiply our giving back to us!
It is amazing how many people saw the miracles of Jesus but only a very few followed Him! There were only 120 at Pentecost at His first church service! Not many will deny themselves and take up their crosses to follow Him!
So they all ate and were filled, and they took up seven large baskets full of the fragments that were left. Now those who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children. Matthew 15:37,38
