Hands-on Provision
All the people ate and were full. After the people finished
eating, the followers filled twelve baskets with the pieces
of bread and fish that were not eaten. There were about 5,000
men there that ate.
-- Mark 6:42-44 (ERV)
KEY THOUGHT:
Mark makes it clear that this was an incredible miracle of provision.
People were satisfied. Five thousand ate. Bread and fish were left over
even though they started with only 5 loaves and 2 fish. However, we may
miss the most important part of the story if we do not pay attention.
There are 12 baskets of leftovers; one basket for each apostle. Each of
them was able to touch this miracle with his own hands. When we offer
Jesus our meager resources, he enables us to use those resources to
bless others and we get to have a hands-on experience of his grace.
TODAY'S PRAYER:
Father, please give me faith to trust that Jesus can make my feeble
resources, skills, and intellect more than sufficient to meet the needs
of those you want me to serve. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
