Luke 9:13 New International Version (NIV)
13 He replied, “You give them something to eat.”
They answered, “We have only five loaves of bread and two
fish—unless we go and buy food for all this crowd.”
I love the way Jesus gets his disciples' attention.
"You feed them, boys!" Of course they knew that they couldn't! Yet
Jesus showed them that if they brought their meager resources to him, they
could do amazing things. When the big picnic was over, each of them got to pick
up a basket full of leftovers from the table of God's grace! Let's remember
that it isn't the challenge or the resources that limit us; it's our
unwillingness to bring what we have to Jesus and trust that he will do
something with us to bless others in ways we couldn't have dreamed! (cf. Ephesians
3:20-21)
Thought for today:
Do I give my all to God or do I tend to think that I’m a better manager of
things?
