They went and told Jesus

Hosea 13:4-14
Psalm 118
1Corinthians 2:6-16
Matthew 14:1-12

Matthew 14:1-12

Their leader was dead. Killed as a party favor for a teenage girl who could not think for herself. He was buried. Their life was empty, bereft of direction. They went to Jesus, the healer, the one to whom their leader had said "He is the one who comes after me, the thongs of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie."
Where do I turn when all is lost? Do I turn to Jesus or a stiff drink or go for a walk or music or sleep or call a friend or find somebody to pick on or bake a cake or go to the mall or try harder or...
I know I used to turn to Jesus in the crises of life but do I still do that or am I clinging to the thought of passed habits.
