John 6:1-6 (MOFF)
1 After this Jesus went off to the opposite side of the sea of Galilee (the lake of Tiberias),
2 followed by a large crowd on account of the Signs which they had seen him perform on sick folk.
3 Now Jesus went up the hill and sat down there with his disciples.
4 (The passover, the Jewish festival, was at hand.)
5 On looking up and seeing a large crowd approaching, he said to Philip, “Where are we to buy bread for all these people to eat?”
6 (He said this to test Philip, for he knew what he was going to do himself.)

Get it, the Lord is never confused as to what to do. He always knows what, when, how and why to do anything He does or what we ask Him to do for us.
If Isaiah 46:10 says God knows the end from the beginning, it means He always knows what He will do in every situation before they occur and within its timeframe.
The majority of us are reluctant to take matters to the Lord because we sometimes think He’s unable to help us or wouldn’t know what to do. That, unfortunately, is the voice of the enemy, trying to stop us from receiving from the Lord what had already been planned and prepared for us.
Jesus already knew what was needed in this situation and precisely what to do but He said this to test Philip’s faith, and to see whether he and the other apostles had paid proper attention to the miracles which they had already seen him do, and then to draw their attention more particularly to the one he was now about to perform.
Prove, test, evaluation is needed in the selection of leaders, Jesus was no different, as is the Lord, we must be proved, tested and evaluated if we are working in the Lord’s vineyard, to be sure that we’re responsible and mature enough for the office.
1 Timothy 3:10 (MOFF): They too must be put on probation; after that, if they are above reproach, they can serve as deacons.
This means that no man should be put into an office in the Church till he has given full proof of his sincerity and steadiness, by having been for a considerable time a consistent private member of the Church.
God knows and wants us to know what we give priority to, for the Apostle-is their attention given to the loaves and fish or to the greatness of the God they now follow.
Through these, they would learn directly from the Master that God is great enough to meet the need of anyone, either large or small group, this would most likely have given them confidence in following him and trusting in His ability to meet their needs.
The Lord may set us a seemingly impossible task to see if we will act out faith or fear, a training ground as James 1:2-4 puts it, that will push us to trust in Him more and expect that He can do beyond what we can see and do.
The Lord can accomplish much more than we can in ourselves but occasionally, He would ask us what we think or wants Him to do, just to get us to participate in the process and the miracles.
Are you facing an issue right now and are wondering why the Lord is not moving on your case? Look inwards to hear what He’s saying to you and asking you to do.
He knows exactly what to do regarding that marriage, child, sickness, and whatever else you’re going through. He knows and will do it in His time beautifully according to Ecclesiastics 3:11 without any help from you.
He knows what He’ll do regarding that matter you entrusted to Him, He will not let you down, He may ask you questions but remain confident that He’s not confused.
He knows what to do.
Shalom
