But Jesus Said,
“You Feed Them.”
“With What?” They Asked.
What is God asking you to do today?
Scripture
37 But Jesus said, “You feed them.”
“With what?” they asked.
….
38 “How much bread do you have?” he asked. “Go and find out.”
They came back and reported, “We have five loaves of bread and two fish.”
…
43 and afterward, the disciples picked up twelve baskets of leftover bread and fish. 44 A total of 5,000 men and their families were fed.
Observation
I can imagine how the disciples felt when Jesus told them
to feed all of those people! It was an impossible task! How much food did they
have between them? They only had five small loaves of bread and two small fish.
It was a boy’s lunch. And they were looking out over a crowd that could have
numbered as many as 20,000 people.
What is the lesson that you and I can learn from this
story today?
What we have is more than enough to accomplish whatever
God places on our hearts to do - when all that we have is surrendered to Him.
If we could do it in our own strength with our own
resources then it would not require faith. It would not require the
Supernatural hand of God!
So …
What has God placed on your heart? What has He asked me
to do?
Let’s bring all of our resources to Jesus and put them in
His hands and watch what happens.
“For I can do
everything with the help of Christ who gives me the strength I need.”
Philippians 4:13
“Because the Lord is my Shepherd, I have everything I
need!” Psalm 23:1
Application
I have all I need to do whatever God puts on my heart to
do.
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, why does it always seem that I lack the resources to accomplish the dreams
that I think You have placed on my heart. Now I know that it is by faith that I
must surrender everything that I have to You. When everything I have is in Your
hands then I will lack nothing. Help me to walk in faith. Give me the ability
to believe You for great things. Don’t let me settle for less than Your best
for my life. Help me to dream big. Show me that I can trust in You.
Now glory be to God, who by his mighty
power at work within us is able to do far more than we would ever dare to ask or
even dream of--infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, or
hopes. Ephesians 3:20
